COME JOIN US IN SETTING A WORLD RECORD!
On September 16, 2012, family, friends, neighbors, rally enthusiast and Subaru fans, will assemble in honor of rally car driver, Matthew Noble Marker, in Elk Rapids, Michigan, in an attempt to break the current Guinness World Record, for the longest parade of Subarus!
The current record, held by Subaru of America, Inc., involved 339 cars in partnership with the Village of Itasca, in Itasca, Illinois, on July 11, 2009.
The parade will cover a minimum of 2 miles through the quaint streets of Elk Rapids, with no more than a car’s length between each Subaru vehicle as they parade the route, in compliance with Guinness Book of World Record requirements.
If you’d like to drive your Subaru in the parade, or volunteer at the event, please send an email containing the following information to markerworldrecord@gmail.com to register.

Matt Marker #65
I would like to volunteer but I will have to confirm that I can get time off work before I commit. I do have 3 or 4 curigated plastic signs (and about 4′ x 6′) that are white with the Subaru logo in full color. I would be very willing to lend those to the cause. Please let me know.
Thank you.

Thanks Tim!! We will do it every year!! minus the Guinness formality. We will have the “Noble Cruise” or various cruises to choose from, camping, and a Subaru Meet and greet and more.
I was in the parade Sunday for Matt. I had a great time and it was an honor being there for him. God be with you Matt.
Thanks Antonio!! I am Matt’s Mom, new at working on websites and not much time to learn. I appreciate so much all the Subaru owners and others that came. We will continue to have a yearly “Noble Cruise” and Subaru meet on the Weekend before or after Matt’s Birthday. Keep watch on this website and facebook too. Will you be up at LSPR this coming weekend?
Really liked what you had to say in your post, September 16, 2012 – Guinness World Record Attempt in the Honor of Matt Marker! | SubaRoots Rally Team, thanks for the good read!

Thanks Irvin!! I am so new to this website stuff. We have been able to secure two miles on US 31 North in memory of Matt. Our first pick up will be the last weekend in April. And will will have another NOble Cruise on his birthday weekend September 14th. We cruise to one of his favorite drives/ nature area, pick up litter, and reflect, think about Matt, cry, but be happy he was a part of our lives.
