Rubber side down;) . Best advice I can give you is just be careful and not do anything you don't feel comfortable with. Remember its not worth getting hurt over a $5 trophy.

make sure u have a rear number plate, lights are removed, and most importantly keep track of when your race is. they wont come looking for u if u arent there on time. also check out the top racers at the track, u will learn a lot from them.

Best advice I can give that they havent already would be.....Once you tell yoruself your going to do a jump, commit. I went up to a jump strong my first race but chickened out last second and i payed for it.

Amen.. It's better to over shoot the jump than come up short.

walk the track if you can. dont do anything tiring before ur race,make sure ur bike is is perfect running order and throw a little roost and have fun

the most important thing is to have fun.. i got dead last and almost lapped my first race but i had tons of fun.. once you get out there try and relax and keep an eye open around for diffrent lines and such.. sometimes i get tunnel vision when i race and dont notice anything besides right in front of me and its better to look ahead and see what you got coming....... good luck!

I wanna race at Blackrock in KY, some of you may know where that is. I am only 14 though and have a 250EX so I am not exactly the best equipped on the track. I just would love to race. If I knew they would let me race, I would start loadin up on racing stuff. I heard you have to have a kill-switch and I don't have one. I think I could do pretty good. My 250EX is still a stocker for now but 335 bucks is waiting to be spent.

I would like to get into the racing scene, just for kicks.

Well if your just going for a practice day and not racing. Well never say one more lap or you will pay the price. I used to say that all the time and everytime I would say it I would screw myself up or my quad. But dont try anything you know you cant do, but #1 thing is have fun.
