Age?? I raced my first kart when I was 8 yrs old. Age has nothing to do with it. I started instructing when I was 15 at autocross and 16 at road courses...im only 18 now. If you ask me, its better to get out on the track young. A lot of what you learn on the track transfers to the road. and teens need that more than anyone. Secondly, if you want to learn how to drive good on a track, the younger the better. it will keep you from getting bad habits and keeping them. You have guys who come in that are in there mid 20's who have the talent but have the bad habits too. its hard to break those guy because they have been doing it for so long.

idk, just sounds like age is getting you down and keeping you from having fun. i say get your car ready and get out on the track. forget what people say. there will always be someone willing to help.
