Is there anything in the rulebook that i can refer to? I'm confused...
Seriously....think race age. Jan-December. What age will your firend be on Dec 31 of the year you are thinking of (next season). Answer: 19. His race age next year will be 19. That means that a race in Janurary of next year he will be "19" for it. March....19.....july....19.....October....19....December....19. All year he will be 19. He will not be able to particiapte in Junior events next year....nor will he be expected to do a rollout.
Race age does not take into account how old you are NOW. That fact (current age) is a uneeded fact for racing.
