Jim
Thanks for the information! If I want a certificate or plaque I can make one for a lot less than $250.00. Nobody that ever sees it will know where it came from.

  I have never paid a fee or received any plaque for setting world
  records. The subject did come up a few years ago in a conversation
  with Steve Kaluf regarding my world record submission. As I recall it
  had to do with fees AMA was being charged by NAA and maybe partly
  connected with a special award or plaque, but I never paid anything.
  I don't see any need for an expensive processing or recording fee
  since all the documentation has to be prepared by the flyer before
  submission.

  One might think our national organizations would regard world records
  as a matter of prestige which would reflect favorably upon them and
  their members but to date I detect no such attitude.

  I might be wrong but I dont think there is anyone left at AMA who
  knows anything at all about world record processing. For instance,
  FAI requires notification of the record within 7 days but to get to
  them, it has to go from you to AMA to NAA and to FAI. To get that
  done, you need knowledgeable people pushing it through without delay.
  I lost one a while back because the AMA person didn't know what to do
  with my notification.

  Hey, this is supposed to be fun! Good luck!
