Wildthing Races at GTG's.....

This may be a very stupid idea, but I think it would be entertaining. It's garage sale season in most areas now. I see a constant supply of Wildthings anywhere from $5 to $20. For future GTG's would anybody be willing to race them. I say they should be all the same cc (not sure if they are), and that's it. Anything else goes.... pipes, porting etc. I know with it being a clam, it's limited. Perfect time to experiment. If it fails... no loss. I'm sure some of you may think I'm a moron for this.... and you may be right! I just think it would entertaining if a bunch of us got together and raced these turds. Anybody interested??

I think it would be pretty entertaining myself.

I am in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Proposed classes
-stock(fresh from the outlet)!
-stock appearance!
-Pro(anything that is contained in the sexy shell of a Wildthing)!!!!!!

Timberwolf put NOS on one a few years ago. There are pics of it floating around somewhere. Needless to say, it didn't have a long life, lol. But it sure was cool!

Good idea ED. Bucket racing for chainsaws!

Sounds interesting. That's one saw I never have owned. I do have that version in a leaf-blower, though. Got it for 5.00 at a yard sale. Runs great.

I think it would be a blast! Short lives is definitely expected. It would also be a good starter saw for newbee modders (like me) to practice even though the design ain't like a pro saw. Are these open port? Are you in?? LOL

I'm thinking several months down the road personally....

Here's what Mike Acres has to say about this saw: Wild Thing

Let's do it!!

Sounds like fun to me. Heck, I leave them laying around the scrap yard all the time. I might just have to pick one up.

If I did, I would flatly deny any knowledge of having done so

Brad.... Would it carry the same warrenty as all of your other mods? :spam:

Guys, we are getting back to the fat chick and the moped thing....both are fun to ride, you just don't want your buddies to catch you doing it.

I was given one of the newer strato wild thingys so I'm in, who knows, fat chicks and mopeds may be cool.

I just shot myself in the foot I knew I should keep every saw I got; a budd gave me a new wild thing strato in all I sold it the next day who knew they were in so high demand :greenchainsaw:
