Just googled and found a couple articles. They have about 200 cars registered. The event is from 1pm - 2pm so we are definitely going to miss it.

So you are passing up a NYM event that we had planned since April to join in on another event that is not NYM sponsored and just happened to be planned on the same day and same time as our event????

The whole thing doesn't make much sense to me. Is it a coincidence that its the same day as ours? Or did she plan it knowing a bunch of Mustangs would be in the Lake George area on that day? If so, why was she not trying to work with us instead of trying to coordinate the events together? I'm actually surprised that she got 200, no registration site, meetup details sketchy (meeting on shoulder of rt. 9 really??). Overall details lacking, this should have been out there for way more than a few months. Supposedly there's supposed to be a car show with festivities afterward but I only found this out by google searching the news.

Good call Dawn. It would be nice to participate, and I thought they were going to wait for us anyways. I do support the position that we have our original plan in place and we are not changing it.

Also it does appear to me as a coincidence that this Mustang World Record is happening at the same time and place just about. We planned Super Cruise back months and months ago. This World Record thing.... I heard about weeks ago. :confused: :ponder:

I'm pretty sure I won't do either event because my girlfriend will want to go...And quite frankly, I don't want to bring her. haha That and my brother can't make it to either event due to a family illness.

According to Lisa, the person running it, this has been planned since April and she said they can wait for us till 1:30, after that they need to leave, no way she will get anything close to the number needed, she contacted me 2 weeks ago about this and was very surprised that she didn't do it ealier since we started advertising this at the end of April

Did SHE say they weren't even close? Or are YOU just saying she won't be close? It takes a lot of planning to get a Guiness rep to come out. You have to lay out your plans, and prove to them that you have a good shot of breaking a record before they consider sending a rep.

Listen, if she has 250 pre-registered, and the current record is set at 766. I agree that that number won't be broken. With the amount of bailers and cancels with the NYM Super Cruise event. Who knows how many total we will have when we meet at the Crossgates Mall. We wouldn't be the tipping point to earn a World Record.

I also totally understand the time and planning to get "Guinness World Record" folks out to judge and record the event. Has Lisa even done that? Do we even know? [MENTION=2714]blwn93gt[/MENTION] said he spoke to her about it.

I don't know...

Just my opinion but I would think it would take much more organization than what I've seen to break this record. I wish them the best of luck and would love to see this broken in NY.

That being said I'll stick with the NYM Cruise.
