You're never too old. I'm 50 and started racing this year. I'll be doing my 3rd Hare Scrambles this coming Sat. in Eureka, Ut. Go to this link, read the rules, and find a local race.

Make sure you have fun. Good luck.

Yep, what they said...you're only too old, if the pain the next day ( financial or physical ) was not worth the pleasure you recieved during the race...WAM ... ( 43 years old ) raced Jeeps before, but started ATV's last year

38 this month and just started racing ATV MX. Never too old, that kind of thinking limit your fun way more than aging. My Dad is 62 and just finished his project V-Max after deciding that his 12 sec Mustang wasn't fast enough. You are only as old as you think you are, your body will adapt to whatever your mind tells it.

You're never too old to race, it just takes a little longer to heal. I'm 42 and just started racing 2 years ago.
I race MX and pretty much all you need is a tethered kill switch, nerf bars and number plates.
And get the best race gear you can afford, expecially boots helmet and chest protector.
Just start out slow and have a good time. My goals are to not come in last, try and pass somebody and don't get hurt.
