To echo this view - even at 8 - its a hugely competitive sport (just look at the registrations for the new Parilla LGM series this year with already 65+ entries) - so unless he really really wants to do it, then I wouldn't push it at all. We only gave in after he met every hurdle we put in the way, and then once you have started, you want to give them the best chance they can have. Hence why my race car is sat unused for over 1yr and I constantly smell of kart oil!
