1.5 cords I'd guess. Heaps never stack out as much as you'd like.
 
OK, the answer is in. Here's the math as submitted by the official Weights and Measures Committee. Assuming average of 16 inch splits. 1st rack 12 x 4 x 1.33 = 63.84 cu. ft., 2nd rack 9.5 x 5.5 x 1.33 = 69.49 cu. ft., 3rd rack 9 x 5.5 x 1.33 = 65.84 cu. ft., 4th (partial) rack 8 x 2 x 1.33 = 21.28 cu. ft. for a grand total of 220.45 cu. ft. divided by 128 cu. ft./cord = 1.72 cords

Looks like Paul Bunion is the big winner. His word should now be taken as the definitive answer on all questions wood related. Congratulations.
