Well there is...

MX-Motocross
XC-Cross Country
TT-Flattrack
ECT.

first thing is I would get the right setup for each type of racing. If you wanna start then go to a local race and enter. You also need a AMA/ATVA card in order to race. For beginners, start racing (C) class or maybe (D).

TT= Tourist Trophy

You can get your ATVA (http://www.atvaonline.com) right here. It tells you all the information you need to know.
