Yes you will be racing in the junior class, and you sound like you are ready... Just go to www.floridatrailriders.org and you will find all the info you need to race in the FTR Quad Scrambles because you are still 1 year to young to race the quad in the harescramble.....

k thanks for the help , were will they be held at do u know if there will be any at seminole tribe mx? and when does the season start?

o and i was wondering would i be able to use 50/50 noots or will i need to buy a reguler boot?

Hey man, the boots.. Dont go with the 50/50, go with the full length. They offer much more ankle and shin support. It may save your leg in the long run.

You do need a killswitch, you will need to join FTR and ATVA if the promoting club is running a sanctioned race. You need two numberplates, your background color is black. Also, look for the "N-style" numbers that may cost a bit more than the others, but they are definatly worth it when you are washing your quad and they dont spray off. They are a bit thicker and have more adheiseve.

You might want to get a camelback water/juice container. It will be vital to survive 1hour and 30minutes of racing on a hot track.

Races will be posted closer to the start of the season.

Wow dopeboii, you have a way with words let me see if I can help you.
Ahem; yeah boii, u can joing at teh races Teh 50/50 boots are NO GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT WALKING. Why bother? Ask Phil Albright  :o
u need a transponderaswell LOL!
In all seriousness come on out. It sounds like you are ready for some fun. If you need anything, you couldn't ask for more help to get you going.
Some races require you to be ATVA member, too. AMA and ATVA are the same thing except ATVA is for ATV's and you get an ATV mag instead of motorcycle.
Check the FTR website for ALL the answers to your questions.
1st race is Sept. 9th.

yea i know a one quick question, does the color of teh number on teh numberplate matter i know im going to need black background but i want red numbers since my bike is black and i want a black and red theme will it matter?

mudnuri

 ;) Do yourself a favor and make them as visible as possible (white on black) because your machine will not be all pretty after just a half a lap. So when you come through the scoring chicane, you can be easily recorded by the back-up scorers.
Also get some suspension as opposed to a pipe if you were thinking about it.

lol i already got the pipe and im working on the shocks now ya digg lol  :P
k than i guess im getting white numbers

They have sound levels now, so if it is over 96 decibles  :-\
I know it stinks, but it is what it is. I run a stock pipe myself and I see most have returned to run with theirs as well.

You can take your quad to a stereo shop and have them take a reading.

you won't find any Sparks pipe in the Quadscrambles, you can see some HMF with the quiet core, and they pass the sound test

y wont u finda any sparks at the races? u think a 450r with a full hmf and quiet core will be louder than a 250ex with a full hmf?

Geez Louise, I have to try and decipher what the heck you are trying to ask. 
You really should quit "cutting corners."
Just go to a stereo shop and get the reading done. If you are over the limit, you know what you have to do.
