Logan, I'm guessing you're an accountant!! At any rate, there are a lot of variaibles for one person's data to really apply to your situation. I ran a bracket race 50 miles from home last weekend. Spent $60 on entry, $50 on tow vehicle gas, my car costs about $30 a pass for consumables (engine/tire wear, maintenance, fuel, etc) not counting buying it. If I break something, all this changes.
I will say that you can figure all of this out based on looking at equipment prices in Drag Review/National Dragster and such. I'd also add there are always unexpected expenses in running any racing operation. Was heading out to a race last weekend and found out I needed new batteries, $150 unexpected costs!! It's pretty much always like this. Because of all the variables, I'd say multply whatever you calculate by 1.25 (my wife says double it!!) and you'll be close.
Good Luck
