It takes alot of money to play with a rally car. I have crewed for a friend of mine on numerous rallies and it is far from cheap. For example, he rallies an 85 vw gti. For a 20 year old car, it cost him $10-12k in prep, construction, safety equipment, etc. On top of that, you need to factor in a well equipped trailer, a tow vehicle, supplies, tires, gas, lodging, and entry fees, it is downright expensive. Entry fees for a one day rally will run you anywhere from $500 to $1k. What I would suggest to you is attend a couple rallycrosses, try out a couple tsd rallies and volunteer at a couple rallies and soak up the atmosphere there. It truly is a rich man's sport. The cost is just driving all the little guys out of it left and right.
