* These results are for some reason not included in the WFDF archive list on the
early world records, but are documented in other places that can be regarded as
credible.
** It's not 100% verified which discs were used for these results. I've got
comments like "I think…" or "I'm almost certain that…" from players with
memories of the early records. Unfortunately the discs used are not part of
the official archives.
*** This result is included in the WFDF record list. Dave Johnson himself has
told me that this actually was an indoor record. Set with a Wham-O World Class
119g in the Los Angeles Convention center in connection with the 1975 World
Frisbee Championships.

hey Dave -- there was no such thing as champion plastic in 1984 so it was an Innova DX Aero that Frank Aquilera threw 167.88 meters (550 ft) -- yes? ...how far would you guess your out-of-bounds throw went that year?
Also, it has been 8 years since Sandstrom set the present record. What disc(s) do you think have the best potential to break it?
