    What's up everyone. So, I'm heavy on the fence about coming back. Been out of the game for about 10years. I rode advanced on a 600 for about 4 years and loved it. Life happened, got married, had kids all that good stuff. Now i've got a 6&8 yo that want to ride so I'm checking into the ovahles. They have been riding dirt since they were 3-4. So couple questions:
    -can kids ride on track with the big bikes/or is there a kids class nowadays?
    -I was 135 on my 600, I'm now 6'1 190 so should i get on a liter bike or hang on a 600?, My 1000 used to kill me on tire budget so that's one concern. But I'd like to get into a control rider spot eventually so maybe having a liter bike would help ease hanging with people while following/leading... "If I can even become a CR"..
    Just looking for general feedback from y'all and hope to ride soon!

    kids can't ride with stt until 11 i think you should call the office to verify also they need a 1 on 1 instructor until they get a race license certificate.

    I mainly coach on my 300 saves boat loads of tires gas and wear on my 636 go fast bike.

    The staff selection is pretty stringent and not the easiest gig to get into fyi STT has coachs not control riders we are a educational based track organization
