To young to race

[Sportrax10]

Well im 13 and have a 400ex, i decided to get it and get really good on it and start racing when im 16, because it was either that or get a Sportrax 90 or lt80 and soup it up. Anyway i REALLY wanna race and i dont wanna sell my 400ex for a 90. Are there any Hare Scrambles or anything where the people arnt concearned about your age? (im not a bad rider but i dont care if i come in last place, im not expecting a miracle)

Are you wanting to race XC or MX? Call up local non-GNC tracks and ask about age requirements, alot of tracks will let you ride your 400EX in a race at 13.

Linesvill Pa Pymatuning HoleSHot Raceway Is where i race im 15 and own a 300ex that is for sale Orginization CRA, The cra does not care if your 2 inches tall 400 pounds and Retarded you can hop on any bike of your choice and race it what im saying is check out some CRA tracks.

2 inches? 400lbs?retarded? r u sure? FINNALY a race track that will fit my needs! J/P i thought the people didnt really care but i wanted to make sure thanks!

basicaly any not AMA sanctioned event , i rememer when walden mx in Ny held a NEATV or somthing like that last year and u could be any age

yah i've wanted to race for a very long time and still want to and the thing is i've 6'2 180lbs and have a lot of dirt bike and quad expericence and I can't race a quad but a 16 year old midget 100lb midget can race a 500 quad racer with no quad experience. Oh well i'll be 16 next febuary and I won't have to worry about it.

i am 15 and race ama sanctioned events i started when i was 14 i went to the reace and got an ama application and when the asked for id i just said i was new at this and didnt no i needed it and they let me get my ama card and race
but i looked like i was 16

Lol. It shouldnt matter about your age, so long as your parent signs something.

I've practiced at a track a few times when I was 15, but I didn't race for my first time till I was 16. I think it's crazy that you have to be 16 to ride anything over a 90! When I was 15, I was 6 feet tall and my 300ex was to small for me. A 90 looks like a Hotwheels toy compared to a 300ex, so there is no way in **** I could have ridden one of those. It would be more dangerous riding a quad when your knees hit the handlebars. Luckily I'm 17 now (just turned 17 yesterday) and everyone says I look older than that, so I don't have to worry about having a parent sign somethihng so that I can race, because my parents don't ever go to my races (I guess they get scared everytime I hit a jump).

thats how it is around here with the ama they dont really care or pay attention to the rules. just sign up and race. i saw a 12yr old on a 400ex once.

Personally I think it is great that you want to race, but why be in a hurry to get hurt.
I was a local fair race last night and a kid that, "plenty of quad experience" so I was told. Crashed and was air lifted off the track. It was a stupid little crash that he will not forget, as long as he lives. I am not saying that it was his fault or the track, it is just one of those things that happen. There is a reason they only let 16 and older race bigger quads. The track promoter can't tell how much experience you have when you go to sign up. And I agree that there are some older people that do not belong on the track either.
If you are going to race be sure to get ALL the safety equipment, including a chest proctector. If that kid last night would of had one it sure would of saved him alot of pain. :(
