Anyone can break this guy's insane record?

I just caught my 13th Snorlax Yesterday no Spoofing or Tracking.
I've had 6 Hatched (yes I am a whale who keeps incubators goin)
I've caught 7.
1 by driving before driving change saw on radar
1 at a Gym where I pulled in to do the gym
1 at my park I walk at all the time
1 driving home popped on sightings when at a stop light
1 a friend called me about at a pokestop on nearby
1 where my game crashed and when I reloaded as I was driving it was on Nearby
1 last night on Nearby
Actually the first was in probably the single best memory I have of Pokemon Excited Kids in the back seat, Dad try this way.
If anything the Driving Changes have been bad for Ninatic's Business, because my kids play less. And therefor, so do I, and while I'm a whale. I spend less on both thier accounts and mine than I did before the changes.
I'd guess people who have caught this much use trackers...They were never shut down in Asia and if you look at the maps of places like Singapore, there are 5+ Snorlax at any one time I've seen...Most mons are actually not that rare and for folks who live in a dense location with a ton of spawn points (think Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore (not as dense)), it's easy to catch a lot of these as they have more spawns in general to begin with.
Personally, I have only caught 1 Snorlax at 46 CP :)
He's my buddy now.
Almost everyone in China and Japan use trackers. I watched vidoes of the Lapras event and as soon as one spawned everyone would check the tracker and run to the spot.
It is unfortunate that there are these trackers that some people get to use but not everyone.
Niantic has screwed this up with having two levels of playing and not everyone can use the trackers.
How does it affect you if people in China and Japan use trackers? You are not competing for spots in the same gyms, and there is not some world leaderboard that they are keeping you off of.
I can understand complaining about spoofers or double account holders who are kicking you out of your local gyms and replacing your mons with their own perfect IV Dragonites. However, I don't understand how people using trackers in faraway lands affects you in any way.
