oh yeah, i was nervous at my first race, dont expect to win your first race either. id say race the 250 a few times and then move up to the 400. after you go to a few races you'll get used to it and it'll be like nothing, just make sure you have fun! thats what its all about

you'll be a little nervous, just ride like you do any other time on a track, and i would start out on the 250 too then move up to the 400 just like ridinredODB said and remember also, it's nice to win, but the main thing is to have fun and be competetive.

Are you even allowed to ride the 400 if your 15?

I would check the AMA/ATVA rules before you try to enter a race.

cause isnt the 400 supposed to be for 16 and up?
