Andrew has it pretty close....i did my program on a budget...and I was pretty well known to have every car that has come out..and all the bells and whistle...
last 2 years think I've spent around 8k....but for the most part I've gotten about 2/3rds back...from selling off stuff and buying from good guys..

think my real time out of pocket grand total for race fees, parts and depreciation around 3K.

but if I went all out and just kept stuff...it would have been a bit over the 8k.

I have thought about opening my own track...but after quite a bit of research...i calculated a loss of around 85k for a 30months upkeep of a track.
lease, utilities, stock, and always the unknown 20 percent unknown $$$ spend. You'll love the sport or is it Hobby...i can't tell anymore...
hell i even work on my car during break at work....it's addictive.
