Congrats Kind Sir!

I noticed that they call the Competion Power Saw, which is what I grew up calling chainsaws!

Whether it took luck to win or not doesn't matter. To be good enough to get there is a real achievement. Congratulations to you on the big win

The saw was an old junkyard dog 066 that had been in a tub for a couple of years. I had to get it running before I left for Hayward Wis. Ran and started fine, until the race. It didn't start first pull and that put me behind right off the bat. I finally dropped started it in the dirt and it took off. My face was right on the mark, but had a very small Dutchman on the far side. It was small enough to make me miss the center of the 6" T-peg, but I still hit the right side of the T. All that is required is to hit any part of the peg. The rules are min. 5" deep top cut, Humbolt bottom, back cut has to be above hinge, and you can't cut off or into your hinge. Not many can do this with speed for some reason and the first 2 trees down were disqualified. I was third down with a clean cut and a hit. 35 seconds total time.
