Well, I had a good time. It was fun seeing the new folks and the ones from last year too. Here's a link to more photos- there's some there from last year too. 2012-wky-gtg - a set on Flickr p.s. Actually I'm wiped out from spending the last hour learning how to put images in the post. :dizzy:

If you would have slept with Nik and Andrea last night like Brad did, you would be holding your saw weird as well. :ices_rofl:

Mark he took it like a man and asked for more.:ices_rofl:




Jeremy thanks for hosting an awesome gtg! I think I hand more fun at this gtg than any other.:rock::rock:

Andre.

Yes, it's 5AM, and I'm not asleep yet! I drank too much caffeine on the way home and can't sleep now, lol.

Jeremy and Co., thanks for one of the best GTGs ever. Everything was great, including the weather. I know it has to be a TON of work to host one of these, and my hat's off to you for opening your place to all of us nuts:)

Anyone that didn't run Mopar Mike's 372 NEEDS too. That 372 that Andre ported for him is off the charts! I'm talking insane kind of power. I'm not just saying that because he's my bud either. It's only a XP too, not a XPW. Way to go Andre. I won't mention that he took the official wins in both OE and NE 346XP! I'm thinking that maybe AS needs another site sponsor:clap:

All you other saw builders...it's great the way we can all get along and have a good time together. That's BIG in my books.

And just for the record, the fastest unofficial 346XP cut time of the day was made with .325 chain:biggrin::D:laugh:;)

AS has a great bunch of guys. I'm proud to call you guys my friends!

I've got quite a few pics and vids. I should be able to get them up tomorrow.

Ooops, I almost forgot. Everyone WAS introduced to a REAL 660 today, and it wasn't mine! Way to go Randy!!!

It was interesting that the fastest saw in the 660 buildoff was a Husky 10 cc's smaller. :)

It killed me not being able to see how my 390XP compared. I was actually more interested in that than my 064/066 buildoff saw. It was the first saw out of my truck, and the first one back in the truck..........................with a seized piston:( 1AM, back at Nik's shop, and we popped the top off. No real harm done. The cylinder is fine and she'll be back together in no time ready to take on the 066s once more.

So what was the official order of finish? I'm thinking randy won from the posts so far. I'll have to wait until after work to watch the videos.

Here's my 372xpw. It by far wasn't the fastest cut of the 066s, but it did best my own 066 entry by about a second. 372 cut a 28 something, and my 066 was a 29 something and somewhere around 10th place or so. Not bad for 15+ less CCs.......I didn't really think it would even pull a 32.

Made it home bout an hour ago. I had a blast. Thanks Wiggs for putting this on, great job.

I was told not to talk anymore about the "sporking". What happens in KY, stays in KY.:msp_thumbsup:

I got to run alot of nice saws. Andyshines 372 was just plain bada$$.
:rock: Nice work.

Proud to be a part of such a fine group of people.
