Default Min. Age for track time

Hey:
We have attended several track days at Jennings in Florida. The track states min. age is 15 to participate however many of the riders and families there stated that the minimum age for WERA sponsored events was 12. I couldn't find any information regarding min. age on the sites.
Does anyone know of a website where I could find out min. age requirements. I have 2 kids that are interested and have been riding dirt bikes for years but now want to start roadracing at a track they are now 14 and 12.
Thanks
Anita

I'll probably not be much help as I believe it would vary from track to track...for example, my track (local) is 16 with a signed waiver. Wish I could help more.

Here's a link to WERA's online rulebook ( WERA Motorcyle Road Racing :: Rulebook :: v2008n3x30 :: )

Per WERA's online rulebook in Chapter 7 concerning rider age requirements:

5. Any rider under the age of 18 may not compete without the duly notarized consent of parents or legal guardian. The notarized consent will be retained by WERA. In addition, each rider under the age of 18 must have on file with WERA a minor release form which can be obtained from WERA. Some facilities may require this form every weekend, the forms will be available at registration. Rider 8 years old may ride in practice onlywith the mini's. Riders 9 years old are limited to 50cc & 80cc classes. Riders 10 years old are restricted to the 125cc GP class. Riders 12 & 13 years old are restricted to 650cc LW Twins machines. Riders 14 & 15 years old are limited to “C” class machinery. Riders 16 and older are allowed to run any WERA legal machinery. These limits may be changed at WERA’s discretion on a case by case basis.

I wish I started racing at 10. I'd actually might be a good rider by now.
