I'm really bummed out that I never found out about these gtg's sooner. I'm only a few miles away.

Have you been to Antique Powerland at Brooks? Several members participate in the logging exhibit and it's a ton, or several, of fun.

The Antique Powerland website will have a schedule, however a lot of events are over for the year. Banks has their combine destruction derby today. And there will be some truck/tractor pulls around. I am not sure on saw racing schedules however.
I'll be looking forward to seeing some gtg's coming up this next year

Well Fraser, James, Teiva, Jason, Shannon, Stephanie, Wayne, Penny, and I all GTG'ed at Bob and Liz's yesterday. Some of us practiced chainsaws, others prepped for June, but all of us had a great time. I brought down a Super 650, 090, 655BP, 5400, 2100S and 111S to run in the bigger wood that Bob has on site to do a little breaking in and testing. We got Bobs latest 143 going with a new ignition and it seems like it is going to be a real strong saw. I can't name off all of the saws that Fraser ran as Bob pulled them off the shelves and cycled some fresh fuel through them. It is getting close!

The 166 and 090 at an idle sounding real good.

I guess we will be 655 rich as I have a regular and BP to throw into the mix. We can see just how much a BP adds. Maybe a bit of fun competition as well.
