Anything from 83-86 or early 87 will probably have it in there. Jason Fraga, from MA (Massachusetts). I've got my cruiser number here, but my 20" is MIA, and NBL doesn't show a record of it.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Jason,
Your NBL 20" #50191 your Cruiser #106134 just to make sure.
The NBL just listed points before 1986 in the Bicycles Today. In 1986 they started listing both points and NBL numbers in the back. You have a five digit number for 20", that tells me you raced a pretty long time ago. Welcome back to 20".
Popeye, you're the man!!!! I really appreciate it!
That 20" license is from early 1983. I'm pretty sure that I waited until 86 before getting the cruiser license. In any event, awesome- thanks so much for taking the time to look it up!

No problem dude, happy to help.
From what I was told, when the NBL moved from Flemington New Jersey to Ohio, all the paper work they had was water damaged in storage, so they just started fresh with the records.

Sorry Rich, I checked and double checked and even looked with my really thick glasses but did not see your name in the Dec. 1986 BT. Did you race after 1986?

Thanks buddy,
I only raced an indoor race in Feb of that year. I broke my leg on a motorcycle in May and didnt race again until July 87. I also turned B pro in 85, and I remember having to run #175 instead of #75, but am pretty sure my card number stayed the same.
It was shot. Thanks again.

Cool!! I wish I could find out what mine was. Forgot and NBL couldn't find it when I signed back up. I originally quit in '81 after racing for 4 years. I know it ended in 02 cause we had to use our last 2 numbers and then our last name initial on the plates. I was wanting to use it again but couldn't.

See you neglected to tell me that you were a pro then. They listed Pro Money points separate from the amateurs. You had 316 pro state points in Dec. 1986 and your NBL # was 89491. Don't know where the 75 or 175 came from unless it was a year end number of some kind.
