Are you talking about buying into professional racing, or earning your way to the top ?
You need to talk to Tim Hancock on this forum. He has a long thread "Finally went and did it....wife is not happy" on buying and building a Street stock dirt circle track racer. This is most likely the second step in a young racers career (the first step would be the aforementioned go cart racing championships starting at an early age), and someone successful could work into sprint cars and finally sponsored pavement racing in the Arca, or Craftsman Truck series. This is going to be an all consuming quest that takes a minimum of every weekend for 7-8 months a year or more to earn your spot in the next higher series.
Another path would be to win locally and at the national level autocross and somehow be noticed by a formula Ford team or Indy light team. To buy into professional racing not even at the top levels would be $1,000,000+ after you consider the required team members, transportation and fuel for not only the race car, but the semi hauler, and the people, not to mention the multiple parts needed for an expensive car, and entry fees.
