my friend's brother entered a couple years ago, said the end through the twisty mountain roads is scary and nerve-wracking.

I know what it'll cost I've been researching it for about 7 years now.

if you're so keen to "race accross states" go do it. no-one in the world will just tell you about underground events.

they're underground, the point is that few people know. little awareness means little attention. and so far, you come accross as someone who'd be told about an event, and then go tell all their friends about it, and they'd tell other people and so on.

you're 17, if you were to get into the street racing scene, you'd probably end up getting killed. it happens all too often. people don't know their limits, so they exceed them and it blindsides them and that's their life over.

besides all that, a cross-state race is partly endurance. do you know your car inside-out. could you fix a failing differential? what if your timing chain snapped?

you can't just enter a cross-state race, it doesn't work like that. you can't just ask about a race, enter it and start. you need to prepare, counter for fuel costs, damage, repairs, parts failures etc..

you've got a long time yet before you're even close to ready.

A cross state race in MO would last all of four hours. Hop on 70 in STL and ride all the way out to KC. A year ago, me and one of my buddies were bored at three in the morning, so for shits and giggles, we drove to KC, and back, on a single tank. Its not that hard. If you wanna do a cross state race, just get some buds, decide on a day, and then go. Thats it. Your not gonna get all those guys with the bad ass cars just to race from STL to KC. But anyways, good luck, and if you do decide to do it, I'll be watching out for you assholes on 70.

thats why you need to make a pre determined path through the state that will make it take way longer... and more interesting.

pretty much, yes.

considering i'll be 18 next week, i know that young people don't know their limits. and it comes back to punish them. so i think entering a cross-state race at 17 is nothing but trouble. i know plenty about cars, working on them at college, working with friends who are in the business of building race cars etc.. i have a fair amount of practical and "written" knowledge, but i know that a cross-state race is out of my league.

so yes, i do think you'd go out there all guns blazing, do something stupid and get hurt. why? because i've seen it so many times. i've seen countless road accidents in and around where i live (London) where under 18s have been killed in car accidents because they were being stupid.
