If you are already quite talented and can come up with the several thousand dollar cost, going to a big time race school like panoz, barber, bondurant, etc can get you into racing and if you are really good, get you noticed.
I would say its not necessarily that hard to get into competitive road race, just hard to be good at it and make money or do it on a high level. There are many lower classes such as the various NASA spec classes like spec e30 or spec miata. Generally, you will spen much mroe than you could possibly make in those classes
The biggest questions would be what is your experience/talant level, do you have money, and how serious and to what level are you going for?
