It has been years since I lined up for a race, and even then it was a big event. (The most recent ones were the TWMX Invitational, Mammoth, and a bunch of Dealer Series events at Glen Helen.) I want to race a regular-old, single-day, local MX race where I don't have to join a club for $100, pay a $50 entry fee, and then a $30 gate fee if I actually want to bring my bike to the event.
Most importantly of all, My daughter wants to race for her first time. She's on an 85. She has no qualms about racing with the boys, but I don't want to drop her into Supermini. An 85cc beginner class would be awesome.
What's the hot ticket these days?

I enjoy racing with the vet clubs and REM but their mini turnout is on the small side.
For example OTHG or OTMX is about $40/year membership. Can not remember if SWAP charges a membership?
And OTMX/OTHG/SWAP are all $10 gate entry on race days.
I entered my first Mx race at Cahuilla in October run by SoCal old timers it was around 60$ total Great bunch of guys!!
The Shop
I take my son and daughter there every Sunday and I can't get them off the track...
She won't win Supermini, but I think she has a shot in 85cc beginner or 14-16. We'll see.
Pit Row
That’s all I have to say on the matter.
I'm going to let her race a round or two before I jump in as well.
There are only a couple riders in the class she would be in with othg and otmx, so that isn't much fun, plus, swap moto almost always runs the vet track for the lower skilled riders and the main for the higher skilled ones, but if she has no problems riding the main track at elsinore, she won't have any problems on any other main tracks, which is what otmx and othg run except at cahuilla.
calvmx.com is a vintage bike club but they also have a modern bike class she could ride in, and they race on both tracks at glen helen and will be having 3 races on the vet track at elsinore this year, and every person in that club is very nice.
Also, always, always, always, take the inside line if it's not muddy, lol.
