Default Exhibition/Racing Airworthiness Certificate Question

An excerpt from the Operating Limitations for the Exhibition and Air Racing
Airworthiness Certificate for my Experimental glider has the following
wording:


31. All proficiency/practice flights must be conducted within the
geographical area described in the applicant's program letter and any
amendments to that letter, but no portion of that area will be more than 300
nautical miles from the aircraft's home base airport. An exception is
permitted for proficiency flying outside of the area stated above for
organized formation flying, training, or pilot checkout in conjunction with
a specific event listed in the applicant's program letter (or amendments).
The program letter should indicate the location and dates for this
proficiency flying.

35. Proficiency flights are authorized without geographical restrictions
when conducted in preparation for participation in sanctioned meets and
pursuant to qualify for Federal Aeronautique International (FAI) or Soaring
Society of America (SSA) awards. These flights may only take place as
defined in the applicant's program letter, and prior to the specific FAI or
SSA event. The pilot in command must submit a description of the intended
route and/or geographical area intended to be flown to the local FSDO.

If my home base airport was in Texas and I wanted to fly in, say, the Denver
area or at Minden, would it be "legal" to send in an amendment to my program
letter saying I was going to make a badge attempt and needed to practice
beforehand (referencing the SSA award exclusion in paragraph 35)?

If I already had a Silver or Gold badge, would I be allowed to practice for
a second one?

Has anyone in a similar situation figured out some good language or a
loophole that would allow me to fly outside my 300 mile limit?

Please limit your answers to "You're Screwed" or something constructive.
