Iowa Spring GTG II

[Homelite410]

I was hoping to post a new thread but ron beat me to it...... I would like to have the mother of all GTG cor the central region this spring and i would like some ideas for games door prizes and such! Last spring we had 65 attendees from 9 states and 265 saws........ Lets see if we can break those numbers this year. As for build off think a 350 build off re-match is in order with OFF THE ROll chain this time!

I thought the rematch was a given. Maybe we should redo the S25DA build that I won by default by having the only runner.

I do have a couple sd25a's waiting for my attention... How about a 35-40cc build off and a 50-55cc build off? We could see old and new saws alike. we could also see the rematch on the sd25a's and the 350's... We also might have more guys enter if we are a little more open on which saw you can use...

I've already texted 5-10 guys that I know aren't on AS, but want to go to one! I'll also be bringing more saws so hopefully that will help add more saws and more people! Mike you might have to make this a 2 day event in the future! I'm hoping for a better Dolly/Kita turn out this spring too!

PS: if mark is reading this I want a shot at running your yellow 166, and we need another Dolly log pic!

Count Me In

Say, I have a possible idea for a door prize or two. I can put together a batch of used but sharp 18", 20", 24", and 30" loops of 3/8" pitch 063 chain. These would fit lots of Stihl saws and any other saw running the same pitch and gauge. Most have only been sharpened once or twice. Several of my logger friends have saved them up for us. They run long, 36" bars and occasionally lose a cutter or two and have to mothball an otherwise pretty good chain. So, I just shorten them up and knock out the bad teeth while preserving the rest. Heck, some of these would probably sell for about $30 new.

WDYT?

Say open 50cc build off stock appearing no pipes but unlimited possibilities.

Not sure I will build anything this year. Just show up with a couple saws, food and bull ****.

I've got about 9 of those dang 009-012 saws... I could ship them all out and we could do a 009-012 build off. tons of cheap and free parts out there...

We'll need others to jump on board... We may be the only ones willing to work on these turds! :wink2:

That 009-012 series are pretty solid consumer trim saws, and some guys have almost lent these to a very small cult like following. Most guys like myself messed with them for a while and then moved on to other 40cc saws. I'm not sure on the status of all the P&C's but I know I have at least 7 dead souls waiting for revival. I was going to do a build off weekend this winter to finish them all up but haven't gotten to far with that idea so I thought I would throw it out there... I'm definatly willing to throw a couple of these under the bus for some fun!

Let me know what you guys think.

For comparison I have one, that had been in a high school, they took them apart and put them back together in class. I got three, no bearings, no rings, no bars, in a trade from here, ended up building about 5 that summer. Just a stocker, but it does have about five tanks thru her.

I think I will be able to get there. Might have enough pieces to build one. Love installing cranks and rods on these.

Count me in and I can bring a few saws also. I can usually spend enough time watching and talking that I do not need to show my lack of mechanical abilitys. I'll also talk to my son in law because he had a good time at the last one as I did!
