However, in the total sense that also means buying, registering, insuring, and keeping inspected a truck and a trailer. That's a non-starter on several levels at least for me individually, so I keep coming back to a lightly to moderately-modified dual-purpose car of some sort being the result of the first decision.

Norm, I hear you on needing the trailer and hauler. It makes getting a used race car more expensive. But in my experience, if you drive your car to the track and run it hard enough, it's going home on a trailer a fair amount of the time anyway. For the guy running a few HPDE's a year, heck, just call the tow truck......unless home is 4 hours away. I don't have a trailer myself, but being part owner of a race team gives me access to one. My car came home on the trailer last time out in late November.
