You Need an AMA Card and depending on your track, maybe a Members card. You will also need Nerfs, and a Killswitch. You could probably get away with being 16 if you wanted to..

are you saying i can get away with being younger than 16 or you really have to be older. also how much is it to join the AMA and do u have to wait until you are 16 or can i get it now and just wait to race

ok thats kool. so the open practice im goin to is in 2 weeks to try it out. i have a pair of old thor boots but they might be too small so im guessing the only boots over 8 inches are rockies or motox boots. my problem is with the boots i cant feel the lever and i dont pull up as hard so im letting off the gas and pulling up, letting off the gas and pulling up and i have a hard time with it. is there any type of boot that is maby soft toed or something so i dont have that problem.

Oops hit enter last time. You already can start to race depending on your area. Its a class for 13-15 year olds with up to 200cc 2 strokes and up to 300cc 4 strokes. You should look into it so you can start already.
