Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: 1fastltr450 on October 30, 2006, 07:47:08 AM You could just keep the 450 and come race flat track with us.

does have skills, and can control the bike! Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450????

It's a sure thing. there are a couple 14yr olds there on 450's. And several 15yr olds. Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: fastrnrik on October 30, 2006, 06:31:29 PM You should bring him to Ocala and try out the Flat Track. Everyone who tries it loves it. There are several kids his age on 450's that race. I'll even loan him some tires to try it.
Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: quad control on October 30, 2006, 07:02:48 PM A 14 yr old can definitely race @ DADE CITY w/a 450 maybe even younger they never check.
I know because my son has & does race there.They will however check your kill switch and randomly check for spark arrestor's. Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450????

Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: fastrnrik on October 30, 2006, 09:07:17 PM I personally don't know of any in your area. I've heard mixed reports of one in the Clewiston area, but I don't know for sure if that's correct.

Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: mudnuri on October 31, 2006, 07:03:14 AM I thought the law prohibited any child uder 16 to ride anything, anywhere over 110cc? I have been known to be wrong before, but I know they passed a law just recently.
Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: tony pitts on October 31, 2006, 05:12:12 PM its not a law yet.you can race any mx race. as long as it is not an ama or nqra sanctioned race we have been doing it for three years. my son just turned 16 so we are able to race anywhere now
Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: quad control on October 31, 2006, 08:01:34 PM You can also race at Pax Trax. There is no age limit and it is a pretty nice track (well groomed), and there are a couple of 14 to 15 year olds that race. There was just a 4 race series that ended on the 28th, but there is suposed to be another 4 race series comming up in November. Hope to see you out there.
The web site is: paxtraxmx.com Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: yfz#78 on November 01, 2006, 01:15:02 AM flat track is a good idea. seems that the younger guys on the 450s makes for great competition.

"Please be aware that a quad 110cc or more, the rider must be at least 16 years old. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but this is not our rule. This should have been stated when you purchased it." I don't know how seriously they enforce it, but be forewarned. Title: Re: Where can a 14 year old race on a YFZ450???? Post by: 2qk4u on November 02, 2006, 09:28:52 PM im planning on going to Dade this saturday night and was wanting to know what time racing starts. going to just check it out and watch to see if if my son would like it. thanks
