Look into racing Speedway motorcycles. There is racing close to you. A 10 grand investment would get you a brand new bike, riding gear and spares for the season. After that your entire race program for a speedway season wont cost you what you pay for just tires and fuel for a sprintcar. Plus that no matter what folks say someone starting out in speedway has the best chance to win races NOW. Justing wanting it bad enuff would get you D3 wins, plus some D2 success I would imagine. Speedway is Fun, bikes so simple to prep and nothing feels better than taking a victory lap with the checkers. One thing you need to consider with a sprintcar is the amount of hard work involved, just to have the car track ready. It can easily sap the fun out of a sprintcar if you dont have help needed. Getting the car is the least expensive, easyiest part of the deal. I like that your looking into the nonwinged cars, good luck out there.
