Johno.UK should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Without money age is pretty irrelevant to be honest. To make it to the stage where you can be a professional driver money is more important than talent in a lot of ways.

Sponsorship is hard. You need to be good at marketing and be able to offer your sponsors value outside of just the advertising exposure. The days of getting a few thousand for slapping a sticker on the car are long gone.

The only way you're going to get anywhere at this stage, IMO, is to enter one of the competitions that offer a seasons drive for the winners. There are two or three a year in the UK so I presume they have them in the 'States as well. That's the way Rob Huff got to where he is today on next to no money.
