Magog and Guiness Book

[wyliec]

The 2011 Guiness Book is out. I scanned the table of contents and the book and found nothing.

Did Magog break the previous record? What might the record be listed under, if the record was broken and recorded in time for the 2011 edition of the GBWR?

I wonder if we did break the record (officially).

There was a problem with registration (which was a component of the official record).

I didn't register and I talked to several others that did not register. I thought I'd registered when I pulled in, had my picture taken and was asked where I was from, etc.

Later, I found out that to be officially counted you had to register in one of the tents (I thought they were vendor tents).

Anyway, I've always wondered how many missed that critical step just as I did. If enought missed it then the offical record may not have been broken and could explain this.

If this is the case, I want my money back :clap::

I feel the same way as Doc... but I want all of my $ back.

If the registration is messed up, then I feel those english speaking peeple are the ones left out as the people taking the registration were French speaking.. Go figure !!

The sheet that was handed out when you first came in and drove thru the line to park stated that to be counted you had to registered before starting the parade. Oh well.

I am completely guessing on this. But I was concerned at the time. When Lamont told me about registration it was too late. I asked about a dozen people around me and about 1/2 of them had no clue about regestering.

I know Guiness does not mess around. You either qualify their way or you don't qualify. There are no "Gimmies". And I don't blame them.

It may be that the sheet I was given at entry told me to go register. But if I remember correctly, I was given more than 1 piece of paper and the ones I saw were advertisements so I figured it was all promotional material (which I am used to getting at ride-in events) and I didn't look at it.

If registration was critical, and if there were enough unregistered riders to drop the official number significantly, I'd say there was a hole in the plan.

I posted a long time ago that I did the same thing with a bunch of VTX riders. We had over 500 VTX's and I sent in all the required paperwork to Guiness Book and never heard anything back from them and at the time we for sure broke the record. It's not the folks at Magog fault, it most likely Guiness Book that dropped the ball. nojoke

Maybe they just don't consider it worthy. But they had (I thougth) Guiness people there checking everything out so who knows....:dontknow:

It was the guiness beer people that were there. They heard some huligans were coming and might be thirsty.
