You can do it for under 10k with alot of hard work and keeping your expectations somewhat low. Stick with a car and tow vehicle that you understand and can fix yourself.. I bought my first car (and racecar) for 2k and used everything but the scrap 8 1/4 rearend to get it under the index...

Car $5000
Open trailer $1200
Rusted out 2wd pickup that you can fix $2500

Then just upgrade your operation a little bit at a time.

PB and J sandwiches and water save money at the track too lol
