how hot is your saw

[Rotax Robert]

Hey Great !!! Glad to hear you have taken some cuts with the newest V8 out there. 1.4 to 1.5 seconds is impressive for it's first runs. Talked to hotsaw Bill a couple of days ago and he told me you were just putting the finishing touches on it and putting fire in the pipes that night. Post some pics for us if you would.

HOLY COW!

Is this real? Is it you? How are you doing Robert? Glad to see someone has knocked the cobwebs off of you. I figured I could only stir the pot for so long before you got the itch to reappear. Well the rumors are true, A baby V8 hotsaw was born last friday night. I had hoped to have a fire built in it saturday afternoon, but I had to go into work for a girl that always gets sick on saturdays. Anywho, no noise from the new addition at this time. I'll let you in a bit of info, seems how you let me bust my HOTSAW cherry with the Pedator not even a year ago. The camshaft we were going to use got shelved. We had a "little one" ground for us by those fine folks at Crane. This new cam is going to require at little machine work on the heads. Heads are going in first thing next week to get "enhanced."
V6Bill and I did a small show in Quilcene at the end of August. We had some great cut times with all three saws. The Harley went 30" in 1.97 the Scirvinns (sp) V8 went 1.58 and the Maid went 1.37. My old man says I'm getting the hang of the HOTSAW art. That is good, I would hate to actually suck at something that I enjoyed doing. See what you guys created last year. I think this next year is going to be great.
Well seems how no one has replyed, what do you think about a "winter blowout"? I would like to get some folks together for some winter time action. My wife is even getting the itch to run a saw, and she has spoken her mind that a Honda VTEC is her powerhead of choice. I'm not going to tell her no. a honda with a couple hundred horse might be a fun toy. You know, something to bridge thje gap between the harley's and the V8's. Have you seen the website that I've started to build? I'll post the address for you and all others so you can check it out. Bill Pellham Jr

maggiesboy,
I hate to be the barer of bad news but it might save you a couple of thousand in bills and lawyer fees. Let me start off with I like the start of your web site. But there is one hang up that could cost you dearly. The word "Timbersports" has been copy writed by the Stihl Corporation. They are very vigalint in not allowing anyone to use this word without their consent. Case in point...
A local collage here in NY called FLCC (in Canadagua, NY) called there local colleget event the "FLCC Timbersports Event". Now to give you a little back ground on this collage... it's produces Sthil series guys like Dave Jewett, Paul Phinniger, Matt Bush and more on the way. Marty Dodge was contacted by the Sthil lawyers and told that the use of the word Timbersports was a copy write infraction and they were going to prossicute. After all the %$#^ hit the fan FLCC no longer uses the word. If you need confermation on this story, PLEASE feel free to call Marty Dodge at FLCC in Canadagua NY and have a more indepth conversation with him.


Now with the remarks to your other post... We run modified chainsaws or hotsaws.... not unlimited hotsaws, you changed up the words to suit your purpose. Thats not fare to us guys in the east. But I would love to watch you warm up your new Unlimited Hotsaw, shut it down, on go pull start it and make three cuts in an 8x8, 10x10 , 12x12 (which one is your fancy) in 3 seconds or less. Oh and we over here in the east, can hold up our on our own.

Later,
Chris

Hey Bill,

Nice site, if the visitor isn't on a dialup connection anyway.  I've attached a PNG image of a window running from a remote internet server where I fetched a full copy of your website to.  I converted all the images to the dimensions specified for them in your web pages since most if not all were actually far larger in size than what they were to be displayed.  I did all the work over on the remote computer and was done before I would have even gotten the images fetched here over the modem.  What you're seeing in my attached image is a text-mode file listing tool where the resized files are highlighted on the left and the originals are highlighted on the right.  Look at the file sizes and the last yellow-lettered line on each side where it gives the totals.  You probably don't notice it because you're on a high-speed connection, but the images you're sending are quite a bit larger than necessary.

Anyway, it looks like y'all know how to have some good fun out there.

If you want the smaller images I'll put them on an ftp server for you to fetch and you can just drop them right into place on your server.  I used some excellent free software to do the work.  Let me know if you're interested in finding out more about it.

Glen

For a post the started out as a mistake, it sure has covered a lot of ground.

Ok- what you guys run back east is a totally different breed of saw. I give you credit, cold start, three cuts on ? squares? in under 3 seconds. that is smokin. You fellas get the national recognition, thus electronic timing, so I guess squares would be the only way from having someone cry about having to cut the butt-end during competition. If we here in the Pacific northwest could be looked at seriously instead of a group of nutcases we would probably look for ways to play on an "equal" playing field. Thanks for the heads up with the legal advise. Bill Jr

Varibility in wood is probably the top complant going other than a hidden pin knot. Like you guys out there everything/ detail must be taken care of in order to have a chance at placing. As far as cutting square wood over round, its easyer to produce square then to turn 6-8,000 bf of wood the day or two before the competition. Plus hotsaw is only one of the events we cover.
Gotta fly,
Chris

Just put a space between the words "timber" and "sports". Stihl can't copyright the entire english language, especially since they're a german company ( rolls eyes ). And the copyright only applies if the website is for profit, which it obviously is not.

Timber--------Sports

Jacob- that is what we are going to do. But those darn germans will now want to sue me over one of my e-mail addresses [email protected] My head is up anyway. Keep cuttin till your guts drop out! Bill Jr
