Rained all day Friday, but the STS came off with no problems inside the McAlexander Fieldhouse. The new DC Hotsaw's carbon fiber saw with TJBexten running it, also came off with the WIN!.....O'Yeah!

i bet you dam near had to have a press conference about that saw when people got there first look at it.

Yes, you will see the saw in the Stihl STS advertisement photo stuff. It was photo'ed and we were interviewed about it all day.....and when it won......No one was surprized!......but also added much more interest, photo's and filming.

Sorry guys, you won't be seeing the carbon fiber DCHotsaw at Piegon Forge. TJ had a good day but his points total wasn't enough to make the finals. Usually his stocksaw is one of his best events, but he had a bad run and that hurt his total points to move on. You will see Mel Lentz, Paul Cogar, and Mike Forrester running DCHotsaws, maybe others like Matt Cogar and Jason Lentz who haven't had there qualifiers yet.
