Chopwood, It's on a Saturday. Saturday July 4th 09......that falls on a saturday this year:). I hope you can make it, it would sure add to the show..........I just don't want to be in the same heat against that 3120 you got:jawdrop:
 
I was talking to troutfisher earlier and if theres enough people then maybee we could do a "homeowner" class or a "antique class". I was thinking for homeowner smaller than like 45cc rear handle saws and for antique something like first year model run 1970 or older. If anyone is interested in either of these let us know.
 
Hi hear that the 3120 is now in the hands of BloodOnTheIce.

I sold Cale my stock one with a pipe. It's faster than anything 99% of the guys here have, but the slowest one I had. BTW, I still have three left:). Maybe I'll bring the YZ125 I just finished up.
