Yeap a piped alky build sounds pretty kick arse to me. Separate the little guys from the big guys - no offense to the "little guys" as I described them but a 390 race saw build sounds like it would bring some pretty wicked results.

I wonder if Mr.Clarke would even jump in and concoct a screamin' demon.... :)

LOL. Yep send it out west after the race
or heck send it East. Then they would
have a pair.

I was just interested in seeing a 390xp race saw build off. :confused:


It'd be cool to see some race saws built and not just woods saws.

All timber sports are cool as hell... But when it comes to saws, I just can't get into the ones I can't pack into the woods and cut with... Maybe my tastes will change over time, but I doubt it... :msp_confused:

I totally agree. I seriously agree 110% with you.

Race saws overall, aren't that big of an interest to me. I hate the fact that they get broken out once or twice a year to get fired up. My issue with it is I can't run the saw all day. I like woods saws WAY more. I'd rather be out in the woods all day dropping trees, limbing, bucking, and milling. The race saws though (to me anyways) are just neat to see what can be done with a motor. I like the power they have - they're really impressive. Going to races is really cool to see what everyone has. No matter what you've got there's always someone with something faster. It's cool to go to one but I'll never have much interest in real saw racing. I like participating in the woods saw classes but I never do it with intent to win. I'm slow as hell, lol....

I was more or less responding to Scott with that comment - I saw it as him sort of implying that this should be a gtg saw or race saw build (it's possible I was wrong). I figured if that's the route they were gonna go in that maybe some other builders could/should participate to make it exciting. That and it would have been neat to see something different but it's not my build off and I was just speaking my mind....

Then you would like Chardon. They don't
have a class for the 390 there. But
that 372 stroker would fit right in!! Heck
what was the times there last year.
 
I almost went to Chardon last year. But my dad was diagnosed in February of last year and I put most things on hold to be there for him. I didn't make it to many local GTGs and I never made it to one race in 2011.

I might make it this year. I hear Chardon is awesome....
 
i invited the helsels to the gtg, said thay would be there and would bring a race saw or two. also a throwing ax, sounds fun so i'll set up a target.

any carvers coming?

I'm an hour away from Hayward, Wi and have yet to make it for the lumberjack show up there. But 3 times I've driven 5 hours one way to go to the Iowa gtg. If I knew some guys who raced up there it might be different, until then ill just go where I know where the is a bunch of saw rubes like me hanging out withnothing to prove.:cheers:
 
What is a GTG? Is that not a form of
a race?? Some guys start there and
move on up to the bigger shows.
Then other try the bigger races and
find out they are not what they thought
they were and drop back to the Gtgs

I think Treemonkeys gtg is going to
be a lot of fun!! There is going to be
some of the best chainsaw operators in
the world there!! The Halversons!! Penny
Halverson still holds world records
 
The top timbersports competitors from all over the world compete at Hayward. Many world records have been set there. It's a shame people have this available in their back yard and don't make use of it. Competed there once myself in 1996. Got 3rd in the Hotsaw. Made a mistake in the up cut and got pushed out of the cut. Would'a should'a could'a won it!.......Hahahahahaha! Here's a video of the cut, Melvin Lentz givin me the red a$$ after the race. 250 Honda running alkie, cold start, 3 cuts, 20" white pine.

OK. Ya talked me into it. I'll be the guy wearing the backwards Stihl hat face down in a pile of sawdust surrounded by empty Leinies bottles!! I heard it's quite a show & party. Better put it on the Calender for this summer.
 
The womens log rolling is always fun to watch, especially when they get dunked and crawl out of that cold water.......Oh Yeah!
 
I went to the show at Hayward when I was about ten or so and havent been back since. I am thinking about going to it this year. Now I hear about the women in cold water, MMMM, I just may HAVE to go.
 
Have you ever seen Rick Halverson run
his bike saw?? In Lake City Mi. He cold
started his bike and took 3. 8x8 s in 2.51
seconds. That is fast fast
