he is bored of ploughing though jack. needs something that involves more speed . like you on the snapper lawnmower :roll::caution::barf::yes::idea::laugh::kiss:
if he is young and you have money to back him get him karting speak to noel brennan in brennan karting in kilkenny he will send you in the rite direction
if ya buy a good kart maybe spend about 1000-1500 euro ya mite get something handy, entries arent expensive, tyres will last a while but its like any thing once ya start spending its impossible to stop, if he is aged between 8-12 its the cadets which is great to watch all 60cc karts easy and cheap to run 12-16 its 100cc which is a bit faster i think now the rotax max is the class for them if ya check it out with motorsport ireland they will tell you but certainly talk to noel brennen if ya want to know anything about karting he is a former european champion
ok, thanks jp, what about the junior rods? would mean he is getting good practise in a car but then it isnt anything like rallying :laugh::yes::idea::caution::roll::dunno:
why not do alltrack in a 1200 nova great fun and dad can have a go to in class 2 all very good crack and cheap!
10 rounds on tarmac on all day saturday
and another gravel friday afternoon championship
Have to say now I bought a banger for £100 when I was 12 and wrecked about my Grandads farm which had about a mile of lane, I learnt eveything on it, Oversteer, understeer, left foot braking, how to go through fences backwards, you know what best thing I ever done.

I raced karts for years before i started rallying very good starting point but them alltrack events and rallycross would be equally as good or even better!
alltrack would be great to start off if you want him to be the next Solberg
