This is your first time driving on the 1/4? With your current mods you should hit 14s but experience will be the naysayer here.

I agree with Caeser...14.9 at best...till you get more practice (2 or 3 more trips out to the track. By then you'll be 14.7 or so.

Be sure before you go to the track and what - not, get a consent form done before you go or take one of your parents with you and let them sit in the stands and cheer. Would suck to get out there and get rejected due to age

I was under the impression that as long as you are allowed to drive to the track, you are allowed to race there too (age-wise). You'll be going to the same track I usually go to, and I've never heard of them having an age limit but then again I don't really know anyone of your age racing.
