Racer/Autocrosser Ages?

I'm curious - The Autox's and track days I've done have had fairly mixed age groups. I'm curious what the average age is here?

Might want to throw in 10's too, since I first started autocrossing and doing HPDE back in high school. Though only started getting serious just now, with cash/time/determination (20's).

Never had any money to do this until I was in my early 30's. Now, with wife and kids, I am running out of money again and probably won't be able to make a serious run at real racing until I am 54!!! Who am I kidding? Make that 64. By then there might not even be motorsports anymore...

24, and i think im one of the youngest ones usually out there.

I think the poll on here is skewed, seeing how you have to figure in the average ages of total RX-8 owners.

You do need the 60+ not only for Team RX8, but in 3 weeks for me also.

22, started autocrossing my 97 M3 sedan 5spd a few years ago and then my girlfriends 2000 S2000 last year. Sold the M3 last week and bought the RX8, hoping to start autocrossing that if I can get over the S2000 performance.
