yep Bill won Minden last year by .01 of a second over Woodland which was running a normal stroke saw , now he will be running a stroker this year ,Jerry G. is very good but you cannot say he is the best because you have not seen alot of guys that will not travel to the states from Quebec and father east of there, and like you say i have seen jerry win everything and then again not win a thing . it all happens to us .Last year he only placed 5 th in the open here in Minden just had a bad day,last year i only ran at 1 show but am going to run lots this year , there was just no time working 2 jobs .
but as far as operator's go i would put Cliff as good as Jerry and also Gaston ,there is alot of good guys out there and when you put them in wood they are use to they are hard to beat
