Who exactly are you racing? Are their drone racing leagues? See who can take the quickest aerial pictures?
These aren't for spying on your neighbor or taking pretty video of you skiing down a mountain. Just like race cars from the 1960's, they are stripped down to the bare go-fast parts and made for competition.

$339 for a ready to fly kit with a few extras.
This does NOT include the fancy goggles, though. I haven't researched them much but the ones I have looked at are +/- $600.

I think that the main thing to remember is that you will crash the thing and you will break stuff. Expect to be buying props in bulk and to go through a frame or two along the way. If you get lucky, the electronics will survive - they are pretty robust - but expect to replace everything else.
