Just got home and showered after a very long, very fun day. Thanks to all of you that came out to play, if it weren't for you I would have played with myself. :msp_smile: An extra big thanks to Matt, Lisa, Levi, & Hannah for making the long trip up and just making it all that much more fun. You guys are a great family to hang out with.

Thanks to all that helped put on a great show today. We had many hands busy helping out in many ways. We even had our own sweeper/clean up man.

I think the crowd really enjoyed it. Now it looks like we have another venue for next summer that wants us to do some racing . Had some people from Spooner/Washburn county that want us over there next summer.

We had some real close and tough competition today. Everyone brought their "A" game.

We had 18 participants, including a handful of locals and the feller that was carving at the fair (doin a nice job!)

Old Guy was a LIFESAVER with his 13x13 canopy, and Hannah Hale was our celebrity guest caller - she did a heckuva job!
Sheryl (sp?)- old guy's gal - was also a HUGE help with shirt selling & organization.

All in all, it was a very good day! Pics will be forthcoming... but it might be a while.

I had fun. Thanks again everyone. Great pics too philbert.

I would have loved to attend.

The heads up racing you guys are doing there seems like it would be great fun. I like the idea of the stopwatches being left out. As a saw builder one thing I hate seeing is a damn stopwatch.

The Central VA GTG at Ernie's was one of the best I'd ever been to.......we had a great time running all the older saws and two man saws. And the very best part.......no one gave a damn who's saw was the fastest.

Where's da vids?

Stopwatches make sense in a test fixture. Or when competing one-at-a-time. (Plus, you need opposable thumbs to operate one).

As I noted in earlier posts, these events have been organized very professionally, but are done in a fun and friendly manner.

When you do what I do, going to a GTG to get away from the shop and have some fun is great.........till someone videos and times every damn cut you make.

With heads up racing, we get to listen to all the smack talk between Sarah and Levi...
It don't matter who has the fastest saw that day...
The smack will always be there...
