Where's Deming?

 

[NWCS]

i would sure love to go, but im not sure if i could get there. the only race saw i still have is my piped woods port 070, i sold the 044 and kept my piston/cyl off it. i doubt i could get a husky 181 built in time.

 

[Rotax Robert]

Deming is about 10 miles east of Bellingham.

 

[Mr.]

What classes. How is the competition there?

Ben you shouldn't cannabalize a saw you are proud of.

Lakeside, you wanna go? Thanks, Robert, I'll do my best to be there.

I believe the Deming show normally restricts participation to local loggers, except for a few celebrity invites like Rotax.

Might just do that. I have the weekend off (wife's out of town) so ...

Deming is up off the Mount Baker Highway (Hwy 542). However don't go all the way to the town of Deming. The log show grounds are just before the Nooksack river on the left. I'll be there as well. Been there for the last 6 years cheerin' on the Buckley guys.

Fred: the MS440 crank case i had planned for the sequim race saw was unusable. clutch side bearing was spun in the case and the flywheel side was spun on the crank. was going to put new bearings in but on the clutch side i was checking how the new bearing fit.. dropped right out the other side!

the case i ended up using was on loan from a good friend (from a saw i rebuilt for him) i still have my piston/cyl and have done a bit more work on it allready.

 

[Mr.]

Good Times.

Been there. Well not there, but sometimes it seems God hates racing chainsaws.

[bump_r]

just before the Nooksack

I don't know why that sounded so funny...

 

[Sethro]

I just read the article in Loggers World about the show,sounds like fun.Bob in Sequim did they call you the 'Bull Of The Woods'?

[NWCS]

i see that spansky saw came out and kicked some arse. i was hoping to see that saw at sequim.

 

[Rotax Robert]

It would have lost at Sequim against Arts 655

Rotax

 

[Mr.]

I normally am the first one to cry BS if someone says displacement plays a part, but that extra stroke on the 066/064 seems to work so much better than the 046/044 stroke.

i.e. knife to a gun fight

Fred

Second place is very respectable.
