I'd echo that. Its really hard to say exactly how much it would cost.

To give you a good idea, just to 'arrive and drive' with a team, you can expect to pay 500-800 per event (but we're talking about gobs more seat time than you'd get in any other form of racing) and obviously you need to have your safety gear. So if you do a couple events in a season, plus gear, about ~$2500 would do it. And you don't need to buy safety stuff every year. This year I'm actually upgrading to a head and neck support device.

If you build a car, if you buy a HANS device, if you have fancy stuff (non-budget stuff like radios, gauges, seat, harness, cage, wheels, tires, etc) Then it will start to add up real quick. But a lot of people split car build costs between a few. I'm lucky, and with my team, one guy on the team is paying for the car build so when its all said and done, the car is outright his. Less complications.

Also, my team started with less experience than Matt's. I've done a handful of rallyx and autox's, but not too many. Other teammates had done less. We all did a track day at Brainerd before the first event. Experience adds up quick when you're driving 3+ hours per event.
