This sort of thing really saddens me...
I was really lucky, in that my dad got me involved in it, although I wasnt too keen to start with, but as soon as I went to the track, I was hooked. My dad also was my mechanic, and really helped me with understanding the car, batteries etc..which helps me today, and kept me out of trouble. I HATE to hear about parents not being at all interested in their kids hobbies, which are actually educational, and sociable.
keep at him I say!!!
