Hope this is not a joke, if so, then shame on you :-) Probaly the
best thing that someone who is thinking about entering racing is to
visit a local bike shop and talk to the staff. If the shop is not
connected to a racing team, there will surely be someone there
who does now of one or more.
Nine years is kind of young for racing but not too young to start
the muscle development needed for bike racing, also, you can establish
effective training techniques at this age.
If I can give you some advice that should help you if you stick
with bike racing - you should develop supreme confidence in
your abilities but avoid becoming arrogrant. Learning and analysis
are important in bike racing, you will probaly be a success if you
do them well, you won't be able to excel if you become abrasive and
self-centered.

Suggest you think about BMX racing. That starts at with kids as young
as 6 and rins through 18. You will learn bike handling skills and
general racing info. Pick up a BMX magazine and call a local track
for information.
Good Luck
