Come to an NMCA event - this is classified as sportsman racing - and count the big rigs! Racing at NMCA events has a full range from big rigs to the guy on an open trailer and that about defines the ET range also. You want to play with the fast cars you better have a very deep pocket to be competitive - its a playground for the successful who have an expensive hobby! I have a good friend who races a brand new 2019 COPO - paid into the 6 figures for it - it is a completely turn key race car, combine that with his $250,000 tow rig and that's his hobby. Buying one of these factory race cars is really not much different today than it was in the mid 60's - its just the decimal place moved over a few places.
