Default 50th Consecutive National Championships - Is this a record?

I was prompted by Karl's statistics to check the number of Nationals that I
have flown over the past 40 years. I have had the good fortune to fly in
65 and I hope to fly in a few more. Also I have competed in 11 world
championships.

The South African Nationals started yesterday in Welkom - about 260km
South West of Johannesburg. What makes this years championships
amazing is the participation of Bobby Clifford who is taking part in
his 50th consecutive South African Championships. Is there a pilot
anywhere else in the world who can claim too have flown in 50 of his
countries national championships?
