karting should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Depending on what track you go to, you should be able to nag somebody standing around to help you lift the kart on/off the kart stand and in/out of your van/trailer. Do bear in mind that it is a lot harder if you're trying to do everything yourself... I speak from experience... often you need to be in two places at once e.g. signing on AND wheeling your kart through scrutineering. It's not easy and if you could get somebody to help you, it would be a lot better.
the 'no problem at all' comment was aimed at his, 'I would have a parent there but not always one who could act as a mechanic, so sometimes it would just be me to do that stuff so would that be a problem I'm, 15.' not about him being able to race on his own
