we currently own a speedway motorcycle record that will never be broken. At 12 years of age a young woman won a speedway main event on our 500cc bike at a ama sanctioned race. She is the youngest rider in the world to win a speedway race on a full size bike. Speedway is kinda dangerous. I, her parents and the young lady all knew she could do it.
15 years old is plenty old enuff to be racing a 6oo. I've seen plenty of 12 year olds drive micros great, its a fairly safe and character building hobby.
Wanna see some really scary racing involving kids ? Go to a local mx race, the micro sprints will look like a easter egg hunt after that.
