That is the same ballpark I would have guessed....now to be competitive, I'm sure would take alot more time/experimentation or $$ to buy the knowledge.

You can be very competitve for less than some of numbers thrown out here, what cost some racers 300K to accomplish, others can do the same for less than half, sometimes waaaay less than half. Some racers will spend 7 figures per year on their racing operation, others less than 2 cents for their dollar. It is all about the challenge and the desire, $$$ won't guarantee success, but can certainly shorten the timeline.

I would say 150 and some good old fashioned brain power could build a fairly decent, mid pack, car. Starting from scratch of course.

Depending on how you look at it, you only need to go 9.20's in the heat to be competitive from a bracket race stand point. You're never going to win a heads up against another Hemi car, but how often do multiple of them show up at the same points meet anyways and get each other on the ladder?
60K engine 60K Chassis 10K trans/converter
Those are the big expenses, although i'm sure there are tons of smaller expenses like usual.
