Cool video Terry

That's cool... Where was the footage taken?

I reckon there aren't more saw builders because:

1) It's not a good way to make a living, and there's more $$ going out then coming in.

2) If it did pay good, I imagine there'd be 17,000 talented fabricators jumping in tomorrow.

3) You have to love doing it, just like all the tuners for every sport out there.

This pissing match stuff is to be expected I guess? It happens in all pro-sports.

Someone is always faster, stronger, smarter, etc, then the next guy.

I read timbersports in OZ started back in the 1840's, because two fellas got into it at the pub over who could chop a tree down faster.

Wonder if surgeons do that?

"I could have sewed that guys head back on fer sure, and faster than you, and it would work better than before!!".

Rick, did they do much engine work back then or was it basically a chain race?

They all worked in the woods.
The saws they raced was the same
ones they worked. No engine work
it was more of a chain race. There
was no knowledge of square filing
so they just did the best they could.

Nate, from what I've seen and been told, yes.

Human nature and ego is the same right through society.

Won't stop the pi$$ing matches here though.

Hey Dennis. We're going to give you an exemption from this challenge. There's no sense checking to see if you're a turdlicker. You already is a turd! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

There was alot of different saws. I think there
was a few 250s there was one bigger Mac that
ran. I will check with Cliff to find out what it was.
There were Solo 70a,70d,Rex Stihl lightning. Back
then it was all about bragging rights. Everything
was calm around them shows but after the show
things got kind of wild!! When the teasing started.

Put your firewood saw up against something like this. BTW, this was five years ago, there are much faster saws now.

Have you seen anything faster? or are you going by heresay? just wonderin.
Your good at discounting yourself, you had the fastest 60 mm racesaw known to the world and you were a fast enough operator to keep up to it.... your one of few..and made 25 grand doing it

That saw is only a shadow of it self and still top 5, whats he have in the back shed?

Those fast 62 mm guys your referring to, how did they get fast? ask them

Ya and Dennis doesn't even need to kneel down to lick someones turdhole!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[solo]

Are there even any new and young guys moving up through the ranks? If not, saw racing has more serious problems than who built what...
The guys on top right now need to encourage growth of the sport...
Food for thought...
ps:

You think
