    I do autocross in my almost bone stock jetta (upgraded suspension and clutch/flywheel). It's super cheap to get into autocross, most people use their daily driven stock cars.

      Yea, those events sound like good fun, but even that is not cheap for me here - even the gas to get to the track would be a financial consideration lol

      And it looks like there are some serious regulations even on the most casual motor sports here, resulting in like a thousand bucks of gear just to do anything. And I really can't afford to crash my daily driver either

        yeah fair enough. I live in Maine and there is a small track out in the sticks that does amateur stock car racing. We take that over and do time trials on mostly cones courses... no events with multiple cars on the track. I admit I burn a fair amount of gas to get out there
