All of the races I do there are always junior catagories ( beginner sport ) all have age groups: 12-15, 13-14 are some common groups. Go down to your lbs and talk to them about any thing they know about. If they are rood to u because of your age ignore them and find another shop and spread the word of how bad the bad one is! :) :) :)

If your new to racing and just want to get started my advice would be to just do a couple 1 day local races with other riders. It a good way to test the waters, meet new people, and become more aware of how the system works where you live. So where do u live? ill be able to give you more info
