How Much does it cost to chase NHRA Points ???

My curiosity is gotten me to ask just how much it costs for a racer to commit to chasing points for the National Championship and Divisional.
Is it better to have two cars? One in SS and one in Stock? Just asking for a friend? and what is the money for winning one or the other ??? and what are the disadvantages and advantages of having two cars to race ???

Don, if you go to 6 National Events, and 8 points meets and live in Division 5, where you used to live, Its an easy 2000.00 a race with present gas prices. So, say 28,000.00 give or take. I have a Motorhome, so no hotels included in that.

As expensive as it is anymore = We always run two cars each.
One in Stock and One is SS for each of us.
