Thanks to those that answered.

Total responding = 97

Mean = 51.56
Median = 53
Youngest = 18
Oldest = 93

So, as I suspected, we're a little older than Corvair Center (Mean = about
47).

I find the sort of little "hole" in the curve at 40-49 to be interesting.  CC
has an even bigger one.  Too busy raising highschool kids at that age?


I couldn't find any demographic information on other "collector car" groups.
For comparison, from the SCCA website:
      0-18
     0.2%

      19-29
     16.5%

      30-39
     22.1%

      40-49
     26.0%

      50-59
     27.4%

      60+
     7.7%



Our age profile matches pretty closely with most of the "professional"
organizations I could find.

CONCLUSION:
After careful statistical analysis, examination of the national census data,
and entire moments of introspective analysis, I declare that we're older than
the average 17 year old, but none of us are dead yet.  If we all emulate Tony
F. we'll outlast the cars.  ;-)
