I was in your same situation. I bought a cheap ITR with 136k. It was completely stock. I ended up blowing the clutch on the second day of the track event. Whatever. Not a big deal since it's my track car, right? Nope. When you're on a budget, you're probably driving the track car to the track, which means if anything happens, you better be really handy or make some really good friends at the track. I was lucky and made a really good friend.
The best way to mitigate this would be to tow the track car to the track, which sort of defeats the purpose of a budget.
Bottom line, there's no such thing as a cheap track car. You'll be paying for it either up front (eg., newish car) or paying later by repairing the car. I totally understand not tracking a car that has a 20k loan. There's track insurance, but that's another subject.
