As a state record keeper, I've never understood the need to knock out as

Why not set one goal, achieve it, and be satisfied with what you
accomplished? Or, is it all about getting ones name in as many tiny little
boxes because on one lucky day the pilot happened to be blessed with super
soaring conditions.


How is soaring promoted by restricting the number of records a pilot
applies for on one flight? In fact, having multiple records available
for a flight encourages pilots to try for state records, and that's a
good thing.
