Racing a T1 Corvette is a great deal of fun!
GT1 cars are fast (some not much faster than a T1 Vette), but lots of work, and expensive as heck.
Sports Racers; once a dying breab, but DSR making a comeback. Motorcycel engines saved this class.
Miatas: good alternative. All momentum racings, lots of competition, cheap (relative) to run.
I budget $3,000 per race, although that number sometimes is more, sometimes less.
$1,000 for tires.
$250 entry (+/-)
$250 brakes
$250 pre race prep (about 3 1/2 hours of labor)
$150 fuel ($5.25 per gallon!)
$100 food (usually more)
$750 crew (1 test day, 1 practice/qualifying/ 1 race)
$250 hotels (usualy lower)
After I add it up, it probably is more. But sometimes I do not use a new set up tires, so that greatly affects things.
Some people run for alot less; my approach is to not run on a shoestring. I want to enjoy this, and if a $100 part is stretched too thin and causes me to not do well or break, then that is defeating the whole purpose of what I am trying to accomplish.
