My daughter wants to race...

[Drew]

As the title says, my daughter wants to race. She's ten years old, and keen as on riding.

I dont know much about dirt riding/racing, and I'm wondering where we could take her for it. Nothing too serious just yet, she's only been riding a little pit bike (the two stroke ones without gears), and I've just got her a bigger 125 with gears and actual suspension.

Will take a little while to get her confident on it, but I guess I just wanna know if there is a class for her to ride it in.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers
Drew

Buckets bro! We need more chicks

Try Kapi Mana Club http://www.kmmc.co.nz/ they are the ones that race at Moonshine.

First off: can you afford it... gear, bike, subs, travel blah blah blah...
Second: upto you do you want her to race... upto you to decide.
Third: Not positive, but might be there will be a class that she go and have some fun first, social level or something see if she enjoys it...

Fuck no, but I cant afford to race myself, yet there I am.

If she wants to race, then there is no reason not to let her.

Social classes is where I want her to start.

Up to her if she wants to race dirt or tarmac. If she goes the cleaner option, I'd be happy with reduced cost.

Be warned though, her name is Tylah Louise MAIR. LOL

As Clmintie said. Also give your local club a call. Club level MX is generaly pretty low key

That's why I gave you the Kapi Mana link mate, don't know why you ignored that.

Did you see the TV news item tonight http://tvnz.co.nz/close-up/moto-cros...ear-up-2850624 ?

Courtney Duncan is someone's daughter on the way to the top but she'll have to watch out if a Mair is coming after her.

Didn't ignore it bro, when I click the link it takes me to an up north club. Will check it out again. Edit, my bad, I had scrolled past your link, and clicked on the next one. Will contact those guys too.

Wont be putting too much pressure on Tylah, but if she is into it, I'll do everything I can to support her.
