Jamie,
I started racing RC cars at a young age and it gave me a excellent understanding of mechanical issues and race setup, this lead to a job building race car engines for a living and then at the age of 19 I was offered a job at Williams F1. I have spent the last 21 years there 10 of which I spent on our race team travelling the world! It's amazing how many of us at Williams raced RC cars at a young age, it is a great way to develope skills and knowledge.
Try running that past the old man.
Cheers,
James.
