If you are 16 you can do juniors or categories. Your catergory is 5. Your racing age is as of the end of the year.

You also need to read about junior gearing restrictions. Note that these restrictions apply regardless of whether you are racing a juniors rac eor a category race, and continue to apply until your racing age is 19 or older.

You folks fell for the musings of a 16 year old. I was about the same height and weight at that age as he is. Let him drink some beer, chase some woman, get married have kids and a 9 to 5 job and come back in 30 years and tell us how much he weighs.

Ill be in my 90s if alive and probably back down to 130!

I sure hope not. That would make me morbidly obese.
