first you find the races, a good place to start is the ATVA or local shops somtimes have info about races.

what kind of races do you want to go to or participate in? (moto-X, cross country, flat track, drags, hill climbs... there's all sorts, pick your flavor)
where are you? maybe we can find someone local to you that knows what's happening near you... or knows who to get in touch with

gear & quad: some of this may depend on your budget, but it definitely depends on the type of racing you want to do..
gear... helmet, goggles, & boots are required everywhere, i suggest a chest protector too...
quad setup depends on thy type of racing & your budget, generally a tether kill switch is mandatory, nerfs are required for some. try to call the organization putting on an event to ask about thier requirements.
the most important piece of safety equipment is already on you- use your head & don't get into something your not ready for, riding above your abilities is the most common way to get hurt. know your quad well, & know your abilities with it... set realistic goals & don't expect to win(but try your best), remember to have fun... that's what it's all about.
