Help with racing please.

[XR400RMan]

Ok I just want to think everyone for your replies when I was trying to decide between a 125 and 250. To let you all know, I decided to go with a YZ125. I told you all that I wasn't going to race but then I changed my mind so I will go with the 125 and also not as much money. My question is that I have heard alot of you guys say (I TOOK MY DIRT BIKE OUT TO MY LOCAL TRACKS AND RACED IT) So I am wondering where you guys go. There is a local motocross track about 20 to 25 minutes from my parents house where I can go and practice but I don't think they race there. So where do I go to race other 16 year olds that ride a 125 like me? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Matt:scream:

Ride trails. Look for powerlines and then ride under them.

Go to your local bike shop and ask them. They should be able to provide you with all of the proper information for your area. most Race organizations have a "schoolboy" class that will probably be exactly what you are looking for.
Most important though .... Practice a great deal and get completely comfortable with your new bike and enroll in a MX School at a local track, before you start racing. This will give you the greatest chance at avoiding serious injury.

Good Luck and keep us posted.:)
