Default The highly successful UK Junior XC program vs. USA's nonexistantJunior XC program. Why?

Say a teenager devotes the time and energy into becoming a junior racer in the states. Races a couple of times in nice loaned gliders, turns 18(21?) then what back to the 1-26? Backseat of the 2-33? What becomes of young adult racing pilots?
