1. How do I get to your track?
2. What time are your sign-ups and practice?
3. What time do you begin racing?
4. How much will it cost to racing?

Once you know where to go racing and you have your 20-inch BMX bike, there is a simple checklist to go down in order to make sure your bike is ABA safe & race ready.:

1. Make sure all bolts are tight - especially your axle bolts and stem bolts.
2. All reflectors must be removed for safety purposes.
3. If your bike has a kickstand, it must be taken off.
4. Your bike needs the three required pads - a) covering the crossbar of your handlebars b) covering the handlebar stem (or gooseneck) and c) on the top tube of your frame.
5. You'll also need a numberplate. Most ABA tracks will supply you with a plate when you sign up. If not, a simple paper plate will do just fine.

Next, there's the checklist of what you will need to wear in order to race. When you first start out racing BMX, think cheap. You don't need a fancy uniform - jeans and a long sleeve shirt will do.

1. Long sleeve shirt.
2. Long pants.
3. A helmet.  A lot of times, a good, inexpensive helmet can be found at garage sales or in the pit area of your local BMX track.  A full face helmet is recommended.
4. Any tennis shoe is sufficient.
