Buying a well built racecar is the cheaper route (save $ and tons of time)

But, if you do it to your car, you can do it in stages and spend the money over a longer period of time.

On the latter, things do break quite often, and you have to fix it right away unless you want to miss the race (therefore loosing your sunk costs for the race weekend).

I think full race cars are safer on track as well.
