What happens if I had a larger pumpkin with a small hole and was
disqualified from the prize money but I wanted the World Record?  If I
had 1200 lber, I would wave the money and allow you to open the pumpkin
to prove I did not add anything just for the record.  Do you think it
would be possible to support this theory?

Could the WPC and GPC rules be revised to support this type of request?
They would give up all the money just for the Record...

Please, anyone provide comments on this suggestion.
