Default Distance wood has flown

Al Parker and Ben Greene set a world distance record
from either Marfa or Odessa to Kansas (I believe Salina).
If memory is correct, Ben was still flying his SH-K.

On his very first X/C flight, Josh Knerr flew his (formerly
yours?)
K-8 from Tehachapi, California to Yerington, Nevada
during the Dust
Devil Dash a couple of years ago. This flight was
something like 10
miles short of Diamond Distance. Alas, he did not
have a barograph or
data logger.

Any idea how far an older sailplane has flown? What
are some of the best Ka-6, SHK, LO-150 or Elfe flights?
