Lets face it even in the glory days of the 70's and 80's was rallycross ever that cheap for the low budget driver?
Formula C was a no holds barred modified class, even in something like a Mini or Fiesta! You could compete with something else but in both cases you needed at least a 1380 Mni or a decent spec flow and gearbox, hardly budget level! Formula B the same, you wouldnt have got anywhere with a Pinto in an Escort would you you would have been having a go, but not really competitive.
Stock Hatch was great initially until they stopped or gave up policing it properly and drivers starting taking the mick wth tyres and things.
Minicross is the best alternative, though ab it harder to get into now with the cost of running a Min.
I dont think rallycross has ever been particlarly cheap, ERC was cheapish with the 1400's. But a a national level we need a Bilcross or something like they have in Europe where you can run something very cheap and standard, toughen it up a bit for longevity and off you go
