Title: Quad racing for kids
Post by: swampbuggy1 on March 21, 2006, 09:04:19 AM
I am trying to get info on any groups or organizations that promote organized Quad racing for kids.
My son is 3 1/2 yrs old and has been riding a 50cc quad for almost a year. We live on 2 1/2 acres but he is quickly outgrowing this. We do ride down the back road which is dirt and he can open it up a little more. He has shown a remarkable talent for riding and seems to be a natural at it.
I went to a monster truck show a couple of years ago and there were a group of young kids racing at the show but I didn't get any inormation on who they were.
PLEASE HELP!

Thanks

FTR has Pee Wee classes starting at 4 years old. It is the coolest thing to watch them! They look so... ah, hmm... cute. Can I use that word and still be a man? That is exactly what they are, though! They walk around all proud with the racing gear on.
Anyway, check out the website as linked above and when he turn 4, give it a try.
See you at the races!

Swamp--

I am the Quad MX rep for FTR.  This is the first year that we have had the little quads out there and it is going good. The turn out for the 0-50 cc class has been an average 4-5 and the same for the 51-90 cc.  The 0-50 cc is for 4-8 yrs and the 51-90 cc is for 7-12 yrs.  Check us out.

Any questions give me a call.
