Udo already provided half of the answer (592 pilots/teams have
participated in at least one SSA sanctioned contest in the past 3

The soaring safety foundation website claims 12,512 SSA members in
2005.

Which gives 4.7 % of SSA members competed in the last 3 years.

Now how many of those members were active ?
