ATV Florida Forum

Hey guys, I really want to start MX and seminole is the closest track. Does anyone know what it takes to start in the ATV C-class(requirments)? I'm 14, almost 15 and I ride a 450r w/ the mods in my sig. Is there any things holding me back or anything? Also how much total would it be if you know?

Thanks soo much,

                  kenny

I think that you have to be 16 to ride a 400cc or up... ( thats the reason that I cant race my 400 )

hmm.... anyone else who knows for sure??

You don't need to be 16 to race at Seminole, just at events like the SSQSA series, and nationals.

Thanks. also do you know how much it will run me to sign up and everything?

anyone????

 you have the following basic fees:

 1-race fee---------------$25
 2-gate fee---------------$5-$10
 3-transponder------------$100(buying it)-$120(renting it is $20 but you need a $100 refundable deposit)
 4-numbers/number plates on your quad front and rear-----$(varies)

  if you are less than 16 you need a parent/guardian present to sign waiver.
 this is all just basic pricing and varies. just remember you also need to add: gas(your vehicle),toll,food,quad gas.
 i do not know your skill level of riding. race day has a practice session in the morning, and 2 race motos. racing the a,b,c-class is 5 laps on the mx track. racing the beginner class is 4 laps of the mx track.  and remember SAFETY. you want to be able to continue to race and ride so wear the proper race gear and have safety items on your quad(kill switch,nerf bars,bar pad,etc..) hope this helps you some.
 

I doubt *i'll start racing soon, I was at the lsat race they held and everything is too expensive. It wsa like 25-50 per class.*i'll wait till *my pop gets his shop goin.

Alright thanks so much.

Kenny your probably going to hate me saying this but you need alot more practice.  BTW did you see that rhino down the street in the guys pickup?

lol I know. And yea I did, it has a freackin baby car seat on it LOL!

looking at the next race at seminole on there web site and the way they have it set up sucks. the quads a,b,c and begginer all have to wait till the end of the day to race. the fee's are no big deal but the waiting 3-5 hours just to do a race isnt worth all the trouble.

It never is.  Quads always get the shaft when it comes to race day.  There's a huge battle right now on FTR's website about it.  Quads are getting kicked out of the hare scramble series and people are flipping out.  They started their own quad series, but IMHO, how can it work?  Clubs are used to getting entry fees from 800 riders, how can they afford to host a race with only 200 riders?

 ???

 that race line up is for the FTR race. wow, that means the quads would run 1st moto at around 1pm! and the next moto in the dark! the races seminole puts on has the quad classes mixed throughout the day, at least that is how it has been done the 6 times i have raced there.

Arod what class should i race i just got a ltr450 and have about 6 practice on it ;) I'm thinking beginner class ;D

 you should do well(SB)
