We ran a bone stock 7900 with quite a few hours on it against a new 681. Both saws wore the same bar and race chain. The 681 was 3 tenths faster. Not a lot in the woods, but a whole lot at the races.

Here's a little video clip. I was too busy running saws today to take many pics and video.

I am curious as to what kind of saw that is in pic 16. Great pics!

 

[blsnelling]

Wow Brad looks like you were right there on top of Kevin the whole way. Good job.

Thanks Erick. I was exceptionaly please with how my saws ran against the competition. It was fun keeping Kevin on his toes

Take a look at those times. You'll see why I love my 460 so much. That 066BB could become a real menace though.

heheheheheheheeeee

Great Pics! The first two look kinda like Ultra's collection.......just kidding

Looks like it was a lotta fun! I hope to be able to make it to one of these sumday......... Neat watching the video of the ancient machine, even if I don't know what it was.

I have to admit that it looks like Huskies cut very fast..........I know it had to be an illusion related to the curvature of the earth, but maybe on an occasion or two, the Huskies cut faster than the Stihls!:jawdrop:

Ah, but the mighty 084s asserted themselves to redeem the old "Uber Alles."

Thanks for posting the pics, Brad!

Derek and Kevin hosted a great gtg, A+ on the ribs Kevin. Brad I think you gave Keven a run for his money, hopefully I'll be able to close in on you guys a bit more at the next gtg.

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

What happened in the 0-65cc class. It looks like a Husky 357 won beating a couple of 361s in the process.

Surely not. From what I've read hear lately I can't believe that "boat anchor" could possibly beat the greatest saw ever made. Was it modded?

I'm happy for my home modded 361 to cut any where near that 357. That particular saw has been massaged by two different builders and is quite the runner. I believe Kevin did beat his own time running my 361 though. Of course that time didn't make it in the stats

That particular 357 is one cutt'n some beach. Brad should be real proud to get anywhere near it.

I was curious about how Rob's 076's ran. No mention of them in the pics or times...

Brad.....Nice to see the 681/7900 comparison. Can't wait to port one...Solo's rule....Hahahahaha!

......But, looks like that good lookin 084 needs some polishing.

I've got to rub it in. Like I said, my 361 cut a faster time than that 357 with Kevin running it

The sad part is, all but one or two saws on that full side of the trailer are mine Maybe it's time to start thinning the fleet!

Here's the results of today's racing

Looks like a good time. I'll have to check one of these out someday. For some reason I have a craving for some ribs.
0-65cc 2 cuts FIRM 8x8

1. cut4fun 357 4.85
2. blsnelling 361 4.88
3. twinturboram 262 6.35
4. andyshine 361 6.75
5. kleinguy 041 9.28
6. Al Smith 038AV 11.00
7. kleinguy mac5700 13.81

Does these mean all the people that were cured of cancer are going to have to be blessed with a 357 now or else.

 

[jack-the-ripper]

Well, that confirms it. The 361 is the 1ST PLACE LOSER. That ought to get some folks fired up. :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Haywire Haywood]

Nah... that contest had more to do with chain and operator technique than saw.

You had to go and take it to a whole new level...... LMAO.....

Ian, have to agree with you there. We had some good running motors show up though without a doubt. Next time maybe we should try some out of the box round chain for everybody. Wonder how that would shake things up. Brad was a busy guy switching bars and chains around.

Glad everybody had a good time. Luck was on our side with the weather. Thanks to Kevin and family for the wood and ribs. Still lots of big wood left over BTW
