What quad?
What kind of racing?

More details of what you've done already besides the Ohlins....

Honestly, almost any quad is capable of handling a few races in completely stock form, maybe add an aftermarket skidplate if you're going to be racing over rocky terrain.

Like Joe pointed out, you really haven't given us enough information to really help you out. Different types of racing require different setups.

For example, flattrack racing needs a quad low and wide, but you don't need really good shocks because you never leave the ground. MX racing has a lot of jumps, so you DO need good shocks. Cross-Country racing requires good suspension, but you do NOT want your quad to be wide.

My best advice would be to race your quad exactly like it is. Get a feel for the race environment. Talk to other racers and look at their setups and get some suggestions. But there's no reason you need to go out and spend thousands of dollars in upgrades for your first race. Just go give it a try, and you'll learn for yourself the types of upgrades you'll need.
