In general, for k>=1, Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(n + (k-1)*j,k*j) * binomial((k+1)*j,j) / (k*j+1) ~ sqrt(1 + (k-1)*r) / ((k+1)^(1/k) * sqrt(2*k*(k+1)*Pi*(1-r)) * n^(3/2) * r^(n + 1/k)), where r is the smallest real root of the equation (k+1)^(k+1) * r = k^k * (1-r)^k. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 14 2021

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n+6*k,7*k) * binomial(8*k,k) / (7*k+1).
a(n) ~ sqrt(1 + 6*r) / (2^(17/7) * sqrt(7*Pi*(1-r)) * n^(3/2) * r^(n + 1/7)), where r = 0.0375502499742240443056934699070050852345109331376051496159609551... is the real root of the equation 8^8 * r = 7^7 * (1-r)^7. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 14 2021
