That's only the latest flights for records on the SSA site; several of these 1000K speed or distance records superceded older 1000K flights. In the last 3 years of the OLC Barron Hilton Cup there have been at least 6. There are another half dozen or more that are on the older Barron Hilton sites. I can come up with at least 20 or so. Still, a pretty elite group.

First, congrats to Dan. Great flight!
Below is from the SSA site. Might also add that last 12 plus years, many 1,000 k's have also been flown out of Ely, NV. Some aren't claimed or not posted on the OLC.
Are we talking about "records" or just plain old 1,000 +K flights?
