I think it's a pretty good bet that I am ranked 63,280.

I expected about 20-30% less. Membership has really increased in recent years. I wonder how many of those license holders race 10+ times each season?

Love that song. Haven't heard it forever. Not on my iPod. Might have to do something about that.

Of course, I'm 45 so that's my generation...
