You know, after we try the sub 40cc class, we're going to have to do the sub 60cc class. Already thinking about the ms361 running a .043 x 12" setup.[emoji23]

I'd enter my 361 in a run for that I'd have to find a vintage too though

This seemed to be the thread to ask about some old Homelites. I was offered two old 7-29s. Not sure what theyes are worth? Assuming they have compression and roll over, what would they be worth?

This race sounds fun. I live in the pine tree state so that's not a problem. Are we going with green pine or old downed pine? I have a large amount of saws under 40cc that collect dust and could be sacrificed. I'm thinking a Homelite top handle with 8" bar and tuned lean to scream and taking out the dremel tool and trying to make a racing chain. I have a poulan and echo and Mac that might make good racers

Might as well try the sub-82cc (5 cubic inch) class right away... I'd be all in for a sub-82cc modified (or stock) video class.
Thoughts??

This would be after the <40cc races, of course...

4x4 Pine posts so it's same across the board for comparison. Just go to Home Depot.

Maybe we can do step ups. Or make a quarterly class build/race. Every 3 months

Life begins at 5 cubes.

The challenge for modding an Echo 302 is the muffler, pop that grill off and I'll see what I mean.
On the other hand...302s aren't clamshells, adjusting squish is possible.

 

[RandyMac]

I have no edit button, wtf?

 

[Homelitexl903]

It would be cool for a vintage saw race that increases every 5 to 10cc's. Sharpen your chains or put on a new one. Nothing aloud past a certain age.

When we get to 5 cubes join in and race us bud. Was a five cube a limbing saw back then in your neck of the woods?

Do you have any pictures we can see?

 

[Boomer 87]

I got a few for the 5 cube race... 056, 056super, xl923, 5200, 71, cs800p.

If we did a 5 cube vintage race they should stay stock... we need to see what each has on it own merits.

I want to see what kinda stones they were born with

Thank you for looking

Neat looking old homies i spy a mall 1 or 2mg also, i dont have any of those models so im not a good judge of value some others on here have some if theyll chime in. One thing to be sure of on those old dogs is corrosion, be sure to inspect the insides of the fuel tanks for white death (corrosion).

Thanks, I will definitely check that out.

 

[Jackofall]

maybe I'll bring the Jonsereds 361 back to life for the race...

 

[Boomer 87]

Looks like a pioneer p25 from here

 

[happysaws]

I agree with Boomer, if we do a 5 cube race, they should stay stock...
