Laser in the US and Bart's Bash

I used the class sign up ratios as a example for a reply on the Introducing the New Official Class Sail, thread in the Laser Class Politics section but why is no US laser signed up for Barts Bash?

I count 24 clubs/venues signed up to this Guinness World Record in the US but no laser listed against them.
This is amazing event and l think and hope the worldwide class gets behind it. Find out more details and what's it all about using the following links. You will get to race against the likes of Jimmy Spithill and Ben Anslie on handicap.

Entry numbers from US have grown alittle. 25 clubs and 54 sailors signed up. Still no lasers. Any one sailing a double hander or yacht don't forget crews can sign up to.
 
I know some have picked up on the insurance details in the race instructions on the barts bash website as being a issue in USA. Well this is straight from the horses mouth:

"With main reference to your insurance question, this is being amended so that clubs can amend the NOR and SI and change their insurance requirements so as it fits with local regulations etc. This should get round most of your sailors concerns. "
 
Check out this picture of Sailing/Yacht clubs signed up for Bart's Bash in Western Europe. UK is covered! Come rest of the world, for once l wouldn't mine if the UK got beaten in something, like number of sailors and clubs signed up. Go to www.bartsbash.co.uk

Guess which sailing/boating/yachting club has currently the most people signed up and where it is in the world?
Answer - Nyack Boat Club on Hudson River - USA !!!!
154 sailors signed up!

If you are going to a event on the 21st Sept, ask the host club to get signed up. One normal race can be made to count towards the Guinness record attempt with minimum effect. Go to www.bartsbash.co.uk for details.
