You do NOT need to be 21 to race, but you do need a parent or legal gaurdian if you are under 18 years old.

He's just saying if your under the age of 18 you'll need a parent or guardian to sign your entry.

if you are about to get bumped in the 125 junior class and you race the 250 jr. class do you accumulate any bump points into the 125's?

The answer to that last question applies to anywhere, you only earn bump points in the class your earning the bump points in.
Your racing in the Jr class and had to ask that?

Tony, I think you are incorrect.
This is my understanding on 125/250 classes, they are viewed the same. If you earn enough points to bump from 125 beg to 125 jr, you cannot race 250 beg, you are a 250 jr as well.
But only Kim can give the real low-down on bump points!

The size of your bike has nothing to do with your riding ability. If you’re racing the 125 junior class and then decide to race the 250 junior class, the points you earn on either bike go toward your junior status. If you race two classes on different size bikes with the same riding ability you will earn points twice as fast…

If that's the mentality your trying to project then your age also shouldn't have anything to do with your bump points, it should be a matter of your "riding ability". A person who bumps from 30 beginner to 30 junior shouldn't be able to still ride 25 beginner, they should have to ride at their "riding ability" and instead race 25 junior if they want to race in the second class.
Don't get me wrong, I totaly agree with what your sayiing 100% about the rider ability concept. My argument is though that is anything but how it is being handled.
A perfect example takes place even more commonly in the lower classes. Someone who may be a top 50 rider advances to 60 beginner. A top 60 class rider advances to 80 beginner, a top 80 beginner advances to 125 beginner. So in that line of thought, how is it fair a 125 rider who may have never been on a larger bike in his life automaticly has to advance to a higher class, or I should say the same level class but on a bike that handles completely different?
Are you going to take a kid who's maybe advanced to 80 Intermediate and just force him out there on a new 450 once he gets big enough with the 250 Intermediates?
Come on, lets be fair about it all!
If a kids racing in both the 125 and the 250 class and he's doing well enough to bump in the 125 class then it probably isn't going to be that much longer before he bumps fairly in the 250 class as well.
The 125 to the 250 class should be a progression for a rider just like going from the 80 class to the 125 class is.
If it's based on rider ability then no one who's bumped from 30 beginner to junior should be able to sand bag in the 25 beginner class as a perfect example. If they want to race a lower aged class then do so at the same rider ability level your at.
This just opens an entire can of issues by not just following suit, and making the rules fair and applying to everyone instead of the current practice displayed everywhere which allows rules to be bent in favorable ways for favorable riders at different given tracks. Which not only has been happening but continues to happen at almost every race.

Tony, I was just answering the question at hand and not trying to get off the subject, this topic could be beat to beath. There are many variables to the issues that you bring up, age does bring up factors in that equation. But if a rider is doing well in the 125 junior class and gets a bigger bike like a 450 his riding ability doesn’t change. He may need to adapt to the bike but his ability to ride doesn’t change….Is it fair for a kid that is spanking the 60 intermediate class to ride the 80 beginner because he got a bigger bike? His riding ability doesn’t change, just the bike and that doesn’t make him a beginner. Think about it.......
