Racing is filled with excitement but, it's also filled with danger. To best protect yourself you need the appropriate gear. The most important thing you need and always should wear is a full face helmet. A full face helmet not only protects your head it protects your lower face as well. With your full face helmet you should have goggles so that nothing can get in your eyes will riding or racing.
Goggles with a roll off or peel off system are the nicest. If you shoud get mud or debris on your goggles all you need to do in the case of roll offs is pull a string and you will have a new piece of film in the case of peel offs all you do is pull the top piece of film off and it's like having a pair of new goggles. Riding boots are very important also they are made of hard plastic and come up just short of your knees. They keep your ankles safe from being twisted bad and they help from getting burns from the engine and exhaust. Race gloves will provide you protection from debris and also help against blisters.
Chest protectors are good because they provide protection from rocks and stones flying back at you from other riders they also protect you from limbs or other obstacles around the track. Race pants will provide you with a light weight non restrictive fit that helps with your flexibility. Race jersey's help in that they are light weight and very breathable so that when you start sweating the air can pass through the jersey, they also help in identifying riders. The final thing you should prepare to buy is a drink carrier. During a race it is important to keep yourself hydrated. A drink carrier gives you the ability to sip up a drink whenever you need it. Most of these carriers attach to your back and have a long tube that runs to your helmet.
Now to make your quad ready. The proper tires are very important. You should know what type of conditons you're going to be racing in and have the proper tire setup and always have plenty of spares. The other thing to go along with the tires is the rims. I would always try to run beadlock rims so your chances of a flat will decrease. Most races require you to use a kill switch that way if you get knocked off your quad it will die.
There are a bunch of guards you can outfit your quad with such as A-Arm guards, skid plates, and front & rear push bars. These guards will help your quad sustain more abuse with less damage. Aftermarket Handle bars are usually lighter and stronger than the stock originals. Same goes for aftermarket axles they are stronger and more durable so they can sustain the abuse that is put on a atv during the course of an event. These are just a few of the things that you need to look at when preparing to race.
