If I may chime in, aside from buying the assets (car, truck, and trailer) I've found that racing my Q/SA (somewhat of a dime rocket at a cost of $7,500 when I bought it) costs about $400 - $500 per divisional race including $75-$150 gas to get there depending on distance, $170 entry, $65 per can of race fuel, $100 in food costs whether you bring your own groceries or buy track food. Then throw in the cost of a hotel at $70-200 per night (I stay in my truck or trailer instead). Even taking the car bracket racing costs about $150-$200 per outing.

And that's not even considering wear and tear.
