Get on the SM forums and find out what the drivers are spending each year. If you only run regionally and have a place to sleep for the night, IE camper/tent, you can keep costs reasonably low.
I expect regionally you would be looking at less thank $10k a year to race the car, just have to buy one =) But this is not the best place to look for info, a better place is where the real drivers of the series 'hang out' and try to get some info from the source.
You could buy the car one year, run HDPE's and other trackday events to gain confidence and work on getting your SCCA license, then the next year apply into the series and run some events, while still doing trackdays.

Anyway I caught the SM finals race on tv and it was actually quite clean. The winner does indeed get a ride in MX-5 cup.
