You poor poor thing welcome back Neil
Don't feel sorry for me i'm a big boy and can deal with my own sh#t.
Come on what the hell, its 6.48am and i have just read all since yesturday.
Of coarse i knew all this snot would go on for hours after i had my little say, but i get very tired of the same construded posts.
Bob, in short you are an internett guru, i mean you know where to look and who to talk to regarding competition saws and raceing, Thats a credit to you, i like the ability you have to get some rare parts from the states, my macs would still be doorstoppers if not for you, and yes you showed me how to make them go. I have no problem there, and am not frightened to tell all this point.
Unfortunitly you like to construde concept origans and performance ideas as yours, not others that you have acuired on the nett, nothing wrong with that as we all learn things every day, conning forum members with snott who take you on face value is not.
OK now onto, 090 racing in qld, i have told you its part of my events up there, just one event now and then, not a everyday accurance, i have also told you very few run them because of OH&S reasons, the fact modern stihls and huskys run over them.
In our association events the 090 can only run if we hold an open event, which allows for a powerhead without a chain brake but that saw (090) now has to run against, kart saws, twins, bike saws and the normal unlimited modified production chainsaws of any CC's.
Point added here,,,, qld rules state, a 090 can run in O100cc speed as it never came out with a chainbrake, thats QLD rulling, but that rule does not apply in NSW.
I also have told you, if enough interest was shown i would make sure they were accomadated and would try and have an 090 modified production run, but that would need to fit into our currant full program in which we struggle to finish. Another point to say is, you feel all the boys with 090's would love a run,,,, the answer is, no they don't or other wise they would be running now. I should know, i see and talk and race all our members and the QLD boys on a regular basis and also have alittle more involvement regarding raceing than i let on.
Yes i bought a 2100 from the states, how many times has it run in our competition ????, i can tell you all, ONCE, at national level a few months ago, now did that saw win a australian title, NO, have i been skiteing about it on any forum, NO, why, because i don't need or want to. The day i need to prove to anyone what i have acheived in rugby league, chainsaw raceing and wood chopping, its time to take up lawn bowls and drink beer like the rest of the bowlers and enjoy whats left in life.
Another point to make here,,,,, We all talk about one another in sport, thats just part of it. F#ck if i got pissed off every time some competitor said something about me i would be in a mental instatution.
This sport we do is a very passionate sport, tempers flare sometimes in the ring, guys and girls get heated in the moment of tension, frustration ect,ect and for other reasons like a judges decissions. Thats also part of raceing at weekend and the top level and it will never change.
I, like you also enjoy the company of the race fraternity, i know most of them very well, i also know who can build fast chains, get a saw running fast and who can put those 2 important features into practice to make a fast run, thats something i am prowd of and i make no appology for that.
The bottom line is,,, Bob you would love to have a run in our ring and be part of what we do, nothing wrong with that, but we have a mimumin standard which must be met, for a lot of reasons, anything below that standard, the person in question cannot be involved, plain and simple.
You know what you need to get up to speed, all others who fell bellow the minumim standard had to rectify the breaches and demonstrate their corrective measures to meet and go above the minumin.
Winning at our top level isn't easy, money can't buy titles, ability will take any competitor further than any saw mod, but when an individual has all 3 facits right, he or she is VERY hard to beat in any areana.
Lastly, Bob you are the most disscussed man in our raceing, thats a possition you put yourself in, you have to live with that.
Have a nice day gents.....
