I am a little confused about the resistance to another build-off/race, whatever it is. I don't know or care about the specifics of the event, I would have a blast being there. I am pretty new to posting, and never have built a saw, have no interest in building one, just owning one. However, when I go in the woods I need a good saw, a good chain, and I need some operator skills. Seems like we have a wide array of those talents in different combinations on this site. That is why I lurked, why I joined, and why I now post. Sometimes I get sick of running saws, sharpening chains and such, but I like to read other's comments and ideas, see photos, etc. I don't know the history here, but wonder why more are not eager to watch or participate at some level.
I have know Scott and his family for years, and know them to be helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I am learning there are many on here who have similar traits and abilities. I think it would be great to meet more of you, hear some saws and have a campfire and some adult beverage.
I will bring 100 brats and hot dogs for one meal. I hope I get to meet some of you guys.

Good post! That is how I ended up here as well. For me reading this thread it came off as a little self serving to me. It appears to me that this was done not so much as in good competition but more of a way to promote ones self. From what I can gather I have found there have been some "discussions" between a couple guys and maybe Monkey doesn't feel like he is getting the attention or business he thinks he deserves here and would like to show everyone that he can beat the other builders on a open thread, for that alone I would not participate in it. I wouldn't help anyone promote them self in this manner, there is a reason only a couple builders were called out. I think it is a bit egotistical. I don't know Tree Monkey but he always appeared to be a low key guy until now, not sure what is up with that, must be a sponser thing. I've heard he can build a good saw and so can alot of the other guys like Mastermind, Brad, Eric, Treeslinger and who ever else is doing this. I don't think anyone will participate in this build.
