#1- Your dad have plenty of health/death insurance?
#2- I sure hope you've been riding for a number of years to even think about racing a 250 2 stroke.
#3- A 70-300cc class usually means 4 strokes.
#4- Most santioning bodys will not allow you to race that machine at your age (and rightfully so IMO). Some tracks don't care. Check that aspect out.

As you may have noticed, I'm not a fan of a younger rider on a machine that can kill in a heart beat. My 250R is a handfull for me at times.
I am NOT trying to deture you from racing at all.
My daughter is the best of the best and was not ready to handle my 250R at 13.
How about a nice 300ex? I actually like mine. I'll leave the 250R home to ride the 300 at times.
I am a huge fan of womens racing.
I wish you the best luck. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
