I can tell you that to go to the local track 18 miles from home with a crew of four test and tune cost me ~$100 ($20-$25 per pass).
To race S/C for a weekend (2 days/2 entry fees) at race the tracks that are ~120 miles from home it , with the same crew of four it costs ~$600.
The IHRA races are usually two day/two race deals and the NHRA races usually take three to four days/one race both cost ~$600-~800.

$200-$250 in entry fees
$130 fuel
$ 220 Hotel, track entry, food etc.

Obviously if you travel shorter distances, go to a different track or have a motorhome, your costs may be less and note this doesn't include all the other expenses of the car, the trailer, race fuel , tires and so on.
Most supercomp cars need two people to race them you can do it by your self and it's cheaper but not as much fun.

I Hope this doesn't discourage you
