Hi , i do not have the answers but my son raced at Eastrax under 13 in the group of only 6 that were there.
In the east of England he was the only junior to attened the regional series.
He finds it hard to stay motivated when he is racing against grown up's and comming last all the time, so eastrax was great for him to finally get to race with kids the same age.
I ran RC in the eighties and as long as he wants to do it i will support him with time and money , but there is the problem the time and money is not there for everyone.
Suppliers, Teams and producers need to do more to help here.
Sorry only my view.
Paul.
