On our way home, thanks to Scott and his family for having us all at their place. What a great time we had. I learned quite a few things as did Sarah. I am new to this chainsaw racing but I think I could get in to it.

How did you do in the stacking competition? Looked like you had the hang of it on Sat!
 
The evening festivities were also quite fun, I was suprised to see the $50 bill that Grandpa tractor slipped into my g-string. Much appreciated.:msp_smile:

Magnets help to collect grinding dust.

If you want something done right, you have to mill it yourself.

Other things from the GTG. Trying to pick up a few things that might not show up in other photo collections.

"I SAID THAT I'M FROM THE EPA AND I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR SAW"

Only parts from a chainsaw are the chain, and the grip. It was a warm winter in Wisconsin. Didn't have much use for that Ski-Doo anyways.
 
So did it at least get a third place finnish??

Yup it did get at least a third. I will say this. All three saw seemed alot closer on the second day. I ran them all today and I think that the Stumpy saw gained a little with some run time. Quite a few guys ran the saws afterwards and I think it helped your saw. I think that Jakes 385 was the best of the 3 as far as a torque band, just seemed to keep pulling.
I commend you on getting it done and getting it up here. You did a dang good job on that saw. Nothing to hang your head about.
 
I want to say Thanks to Scott and his folks for letting us all show up and have a great time. I know how much work goes into doing something like this. For all that couldn't make it, you really missed a great show. Watching the mill and the planer running was really cool. Racing head to head was fun. I think next time we should mark off 4 or six inches and make it even more interesting. I'm going to have to practice on that stacking too!

It was neat to listen to Ron and Rick Halverson talk about their experiences. I think they had as much fun telling as we did listening. That was quite special.

Thanks to all the others that showed up. I got to meet a few new faces and make a few new friends.(Maybe enemies too):msp_tongue:

some close racing
dad(left age 81) and chandler

I had a great time at my first GTG and first race. Ron (Soctt's ol man) taught me most everything I know about saws 'cept for what Scott and a few other fallers taught me. Great weather, food, and for me some new friends. Thanks to Kunz for a great time !

Before seeing the photo I had no idea who won the race. This picture will go on my wall- prolly next to a chainsaw :)

BTW, it's a lie that he is 81. I know for a fact he is only 79 :hmm3grin2orange:
