Question

Answer 1

Nah definetely not. I started bmx riding when i was 13 all my mates started when they were 11 but now i'm sponsored by T1 and get thousands of bucks worth or free stuff a year lol. Just a tip: You might want to concider doing push ups or lifting weights, i know it sounds tacky but it actually will help you, helped me :)

Good luck with the career

Answer 2

Not at all, there are actually some really great racers who didn't start until they were your age.  ABA, for example,  has different classes, novice, intermediate, and expert.  You would start in novice and only be racing people new to the sport like yourself.  Once you improve, and get enough wins, you work your way up to the higher classes.  Most racers love their sport and are welcoming to newcomers so go out to your local track and try it!
