Default SSA State & Nat Records Rules Conflict

To answer Noel's question, you can claim all that apply. This was
address a few years ago and made retro for the year preceding.
To take the opposing view of JBojack, I feel that the whole purpose of
the Record business is to break records and keep raising the bar of
achievement in all categories. If someone conducted a flight that was
better than what is allowed to be recorded, then why bother with
everyone (Record Keepers) putting in the effort.
JBojack inserted God as the reason why flights are successful,
forgetting the prep. work and research that may go into some flights.
Or the fact that a nervous crew had to drive a motorhome 600 miles
pulling a trailer on I-75 thru narrow construction zones.
You want to break a record, get your ass in your glider and do the
flight. I challenge you and everyone else to put ones name in those
tiny little boxes. After you do, I'll raise my glass and salute you to
a job well done and await the next "Blessed" flight.
I did mine, broke 7 records. Planning now to break those...in 8
months,God willing.
