I think whoever builds the best chain wins.

I agree. Ultimately with all the top builders using similar tricks, it's going to come down to chain.

I think Eric is a helluva race chain builder too, you may want to reconsider that.

if you want bone stock chain, ok. but you could put 50hp or 100hp on that chain and it will cut the same if the rpm is the same.

your choice

are you wanting to test bulding saw skills or chain building skills? race chains on woods ported saws is not something id go for if the chains and bars are all the same id be a little more interested.

I think with a custom saw and a custom chain...Eric has this wrapped up.

thats why we use standard chain scott. if you can build a saw that will turn more rpm and hold it better in the cut than you win. atleast thats my idea of a build off. all paramiters need to be equal for cutting equipment and the port work will show the skill set difference.

No one's gonna say anything til you build a saw and a chain that beats his.

I doubt I can get time to build one but I would rather run off the roll chain for a saw build off. If you want to do a chain build off then it should be on the same saw.

It doesn't matter to me what the rules are, you're going to have to play by them. It is your call not mine but I know Eric is no stranger to building chains that are fast.

Oh yeah.....

In before the lock.

No I'm not, but I'm saying there is alot of Racers running a Copsey chain and doing quite well with them. Sounds like you are starting to get a complex around here :msp_mellow:

WoodChuck'r · Dec 31, 2011

From what I've heard, in NY and other areas as well, is some guys want a Copsey chain cuz it would buy'em a second or more.

How true that is I don't know but that seems to be the buzz from what I've heard.....

That's all most of us guys are gonna do. Until this thread gets locked of course.

Already got 23 viewers on the thread - looks like a ticking time bomb to me.

I'm surprised it's not six pages already.

^^^^^^

T-minus 20 minutes and we'll be past page 20 JJ.

I would think anyone building saws would need to understand saw chain and vice-versa. I have seen where some of the buildoff/races stipulate certain chain,bar, etc, to 'level the field'. Why level it? This sounds like an awesome idea.

I see you guys have races at GTG's and have fun even though saws, chains, operator skill levels are variable. What is not to like?

Tree monkeys are tough to catch. lol
