Hey guys,
I think it's a great idea to get a Chumpcar together for MM. From what I've seen here, DJ's posts are along the same lines I would suggest: begin by taking everything unnecessary out of the car. Everything. Weight is the enemy.
You're right that it's not cheap, but for getting major seat time and racing experience, it is much less expensive than anything else I know of, in cars.
You will need a welder or fabricator qualified to build a strong, effective cage inside (not a first-timer).
As for hauling, you might just rent or borrow a truck/SUV and a flatbed for the occasion. Follow-up on your potential sponsorships, and maybe you can enlist various kinds of help--monetary, physical, or logistical.
