It feels like I'm getting some push back for trying to get my son, who will be 14 in June, and consequently eligible for a SCCA full Comp license (once he completes an advanced racing school). He has been racing karts since he was 5 so is not a 'nube' in any way. I think he's a better driver than I am.

In Canada, they won't issue him a WCMA license until he is 15 however they will let anyone with an SCCA license race regardless of age.

Personally, I'd rather be on the track against a younger body with faster reflexes that came up with this than some guy in his 40s or 50s that just started racing in his middle ages, but that's me.

It feels like this is another example of how old men are ruining motorsports... we have enthusiastic, and capable, kids who want to race - why hold them back?

Where do you stand on this? Maybe I should have posted this in the racing forum...
