Answer
For what kind of racing? Road bikes, mountain bikes, cyclocross bikes, BMX bikes, what?

You're quote, "i have raced before so im not a beginner." Raced against who - some kid down the street? If you have raced before & were all that knowledgeable, that last place you would come for advice would the Internet seeking out complete & random strangers.

Would a trek mounted bike 220 suite me? I'm 6 foot 180?

original

I'm looking for a summer bike to ride to the gym everyday thats at least miles away. I'm looking for something no too expensive. I found a trek mb 220 at a thrift shop for 89 dollars. I looked it up online and its supposedly a kids bike. I got on it it doesn't feel to bad. I'm a little tall for it but its nothing too bad (I kinda like the feeling of it). What I'm asking is should I just keep looking or would this bike (still being a bit small) be good for me? Or will the small have a big impact on me on the long run?

Answer
This is from Trek's site, the FAQ. It says you're 100 pounds too heavy for that bike. If it feels good and you're using it for easy commuting, you'll be ok for a while, but sooner or later (sooner if you're hopping curbs, etc) the frame will break on you:
