The pumpkin record page has been updated. I know of one or two more weighoffs left, but I've added what I know.

Please review and advise

Anyone know of a good place to reference Japan pumpkin records? They have weighoffs, but most of us don't know where to look.

I am pretty sure that Tina and Frank Finders set a new SC record this year (August 1st 2008) with an 897 lb pumpkin.

For what it's worth,the official state record squash for Oregon is the 982 Sherwood 2008. The 1064 Mombert you have listed was not a squash. It was just judged that way due to a very poor color rule (see AGGC for proof) It was grown on the 723 Bobier which also produced his 1097 'pumpkin' that year. The 982 was a true green squash.

Finland correct record is:
Tuija Osmala 653.5 lbs (1175 Lilja * 1171 Toftness) -08

We turned kilos to pounds with 2.2 not 2.204 first. Not big deal but correct is correct. Our mistake.
