Yes genuine down to the starter cord, I guess if someone offered **** Chinese parts big noting them selves ricko would simple tell him to F##K OFF.
Our style of racing is organised, practiced and has formal rules and is a network of scheduled events spanning from northern NSW to northern QLD.
I have never been involved with a saw get together, we don't do that here.
As for bob, he has no involvement, no impute, or credibility in our competitive racing fraternity.

GTGs here are just thrown together, and random from year to year and region to region. Though the one they have in the PNW has become more organized lately in one location, and they bring in logs and make square cants for racing with pairs of sawyers to compare saws. Its also a camp out, BBQ, and beer drinking event and people sit around and BS about stuff. Sponsors usually provide free stuff like screnches and premix oil. There is also a pro logging show circuit and spectator logging events all over the US. They vary widely as to organization and rules, etc. Seems like there is really nothing here to compare to what you have there in Oz when it comes to chainsaw racing.

As for McBob's credibility, I think he could order up certificates from China making him the saw racing champion of Tasmania, Australia and the world. In the land of fake, anything is possible. Look here, these guys are selling official certificates stating that people are sick and need time off of work so they can watch the World Cup in China, instead of plugging away at work all week. Makes you wonder what is real in China any more.

461c? They have an M-tronic 461 one in NZ? That would be the first I have heard of.

I reckon we need a NZ GTG. How about a few days before the field days, somewhere close to there. Anyone know anyone with trees and land around there? Maybe split it to a NI and SI GTG?
I'll bring my sawmill, slabber, super split flywheel splitter, and the star attraction; Matt's cutty cutty long time chain, in it's own hermetically sealed display chamber.

*Edit to add* Don't worry Neil, he wouldn't send me the race chain variation either. I haven't advanced to a high enough level to appreciate or handle the awesomeness. Simply put, I'm not worthy. But I tell you, the stump cutting version he allowed me to have does the job...in between interludes in the shed every second day to take out a link or two.

[windthrown]

I might have to try my cutty cutty on my 18v ryobi

Now, that is a saw to be respected and feared! I sold mine, it was just Waaaaaaay too much power for me.


This will absolutely spank a modded 461 saw! -The AS Noob

We had 261c here that wasn't a MTronic'd.
But bloody hell that about 500 more than what we pay here which is about 500 more than in the states.
By the time you get to Antarctica they will be 3000 bucks. Lucky there's no trees there!!

Cool. Are you an ATTA member?

 

[Bigfella]

Well Deano must have borrowed a few of Neils looser video's as he thinks he can build a winner and Neil stole his ideas from you fellas

And your winners are only up your nose when you pick it.

 

[Bigfella]

And Neil I don't think you in all you holiness would have video'ed ol Bob

Besides when do you mention others besides yourself and your cohort Dean oh that's right the rest of your association are losers too so best not mention them ..... 1 is a lonely number

Atleast the association knows how to keep f#@kwits like McBoob out of the competition ring. Dangerous McBob an accident waiting to happen.

 

[Bigfella]

Like how Bob has the strength to hold that little saw in the upcut. Talk about being shoved backwards. Now thats controlling the saw. Atleast he never cut himself, thats a good thing

 

[Bigfella]

Heres one of my favourite video's Neil flogging Will in 2008 at Dungog with a standard old Mac 125c ............... gee that's why theres no need for me to race you's aint fast enough yet.

And I have even bigger guns to play with

Gee theres some good mileage left in these video's yet Right Neil

The only shame here Bob is that Will is not even in the picture

A lot of times the student / operators are only as good as the quality of training they receive, some trainers are way more dedicated than others.

My safety officer loved working with us in old growth, he said the experience of big wood and big machines taught him a lot the text book does not.
He kept me alive by being strict in his ways but said it was a privilege to see guys he trained become successful and competent in our unique environment.

ps, doing tree work in town would scare me if I had to climb and limb from the top.
