Well if this is a 385/390 work saw build off I'd say that using only using parts that are OE on the two should be a rule. Or is it make it fast?

Fast and stock chain aren't exactly two things that go together. If you want to see fast make a separate pot and do $5 entries for running your own chain. Winner splits with whoever bought the cants. But the build off with stock chain gives everyone a chance to be competitive. Just an idea. Mills don't give cants away.

That's what he said.
Maybe I should have said as fast as possible?

These gtg's are a lot of fun, but are all about competition. Their always seems to something that causes discention amongst the ranks. If you won, you must have cheated right? Lol.
A chain race can be fun too, everyone gets a new off the roll chain and has 5 minutes to file it and runs it on the same 385.
An open class would be good too for all the guys who have done all the extra work to their saws and chain.
Ok, I'll mind my own FB. Lol
The most fun is always had by those who have no illusion of winning. Lol

This may be the best gtg yet, so much so I think you should call it the Sawdi Gras, get it, Mardi Gras, Sawdi Gras? Lol
Up here we have the Thawdi Gras. Lol
Maybe I'll come in like a dark horse or do you have to pre register?

Any clear cut to the chase build rules been posted? I have looked and cant find any.
So any carb can be used and long as it is a factory boot. Lot of factory boots. So does it have to be a 385/390 boot only?
Does it have to have a working choke?
The title just says build off 385/390 and 87 octane mix. So is it a REAL work saw build where the saw must make multiple cuts to show it isnt a race gtg saw or a gas race saw in disguise?
Does it have to be a stock bore 385 390 OEM cylinder or as long as stock cylinder used?
Does stock piston from 385 and 390 have to be used or can pistons from others be used.
I'm just trying to clear the air for folks looking at this from the outside like me. Been down these roads many times in past years.

Can we challenge another person to a head to head race?

Never seen anything caused from low octane your issues are more to do with water in the fuel.
If you video yourself operating and cold start racing.
Couldnt be any worse then my slow azz. 
Yes and side bets are allowed

Not sure Brad, but if I was John Prine I'd be doing a benefit concert there.

Oh lawd K.
I've never even tried that. I'd prolly fire the saw and fall on it.
One thing is for sure......it would be awful.
