you have to be 16 and under to race a blaster or 300ex..The only real races they have for them is youth production..I guess you could run open class but that would probably just be for a learning experience because there is some beasts in that class(if your talking about MX that is)..

 

no i'm talkin about like the fair grounds. Race at the fairs locally.

 

The only concern that you may have with the blaster is the size. I am 6'1" and felt cramped on the Blasters I have ridden. I must admit though, they were fun as hell.
Admittadly, I am not the greatest rider out there so, it was nice to be able to "muscle" a quad around. Instead of getting slapped around like my Raptor does to me sometimes.

Good luck.

 

Not knocking 2 strokes but when we rode 300 hondas and 250 Zuki 4 strokes back in the early 90s everytime a 2 stroker went with us we had to wait -------- Problems, seriuosly if you are gonna race on the track or just trail ride,save your money til you can get a good and newer 4 stroke , you do have a tough decision to make but, think about your big bear have you had many probs. with it ? Ok its down on power a bit and is not fun to ride anymore but you do have something to ride again, save up til you can get what you really want , you will be much more satisfied. Thats the fatherly advice I gave to my son , GOOD LUCK.

 

Yea but I really wanted the blaster because i have heard it is fun to ride and its a cheap bike.
