[B]I don't really have any chances between now and then to get to Riverside (I keep my tools, race tires, wheels, etc. at my mom's house), get my tires mounted/balanced, install brake ducting (so I don't cook my brakes again), heat cycle my tires and race pads, and leave the tires to cool for at least a couple days...

You don't need the ducts, just take a an extra lap around the paddock after the sessions. Pads can be bedded with a "light" first run session. Tires probably don't need two full days to cool after heat-cycling (that would be ideal, but hey, isn't this why you bought them in the first place?). And last, what better way to spend the weekend after finals than racing in Vegas?
So, then, I trust we'll see you there.

One possibility might be for me to do all the work on the car on friday after my last final... heat cycle everything, let it all cool overnight. Leave for vegas on saturday, miss the first day of the speedventures event, but hang in Vegas for the day/evening... Then come out on Sunday and let y'all run circles around me since you will have practiced up the day before and I'll still be getting used to my new suspension/tires/brakes.
That's right folks, I'm already making excuses... You know what that means? I believe it means it's on.
So, I'll probably see you guys on Sunday.
