Answer
There is no sections for racing for 2 year olds as they are just too young. In most places the lowest age grouping is 4 years to 6 years and they race stock pee wee junior class up to 51cc. The best bikes to start on would be a little crf50 or a Yamaha Pee Wee 50. Being a honda or Yamaha parts are easily obtained and they are pretty much bomb proof.
Just look up classifieds in your area if you are not buying new and see if you can take someone who knows bikes with you to view them.
You would be best to contact your local track about racing and ask them firstly when they have practise days as no one should race before having time to practise. Take your 4 year old to those and then you can ask about racing. You need to be friendly to others at the track with kids your children's age as among them will no doubt be some dads who race themselves and they will be able to help you with the basics. A warning though once you start down this path it can lead to a very low bank balance if you children decide they want to race for the next 15 years or more.

What size bike for 4 year old?
Mom to Mat
My son is going to turn 4 in 2 weeks. We decided we wanted to get him his first real bike for his b-day. We went last night to get one and we were talking to a salesmen about what size we should get for him. They had 12in and 16in. He told us that age 4 is kind of in the middle of the 2 sizes so it was more difficult so we decided since we didn't want him to grow out of it too fast we would get the 16in. I just wanted to make sure it's not going to be TOO big for him. Some reviews online said it would be good for ages 4-7 but others said 6-8. We got him the Disney Cars bike (that they sell at Walmart, Target & Toys R Us) it does have an adjustable seat and handlebars. Like I said he is almost 4 and is about 41-42in tall. What do you all think?
Answer
just bring the child to the bike have him sit on it and if he can sit on the seat and tip toe the ground and stand over the bar and not rack himself on it, it is the right size, or ask a friend whos kid is the same size to try it out or ask other parents of kids the same height as we are on here what size bike their kid uses
