General GTG Stuff

Brutally hot conditions - mostly stayed inside the Dodgegeeks' generously appointed, and air conditioned shop. But a few, brave souls did venture outside for a bit.


Trophies!


Carvings!


Wood!


Guys tinkering with saws!

Looks a bit wet over there.

See you guys in a bit. Stopping by Walmart for a new rain suit on my way.

The saw races were a heck of a fun time to both watch and compete in. Thanks again to Sarah and Andy for putting this all together!

It was a lot of fun to see the modded saws from both the well known builders as well as the "home brews"!

One of these days I'll be able to attend the whole event. Today was my anniversary so I had to skidaddle after a few races. Of the four saw events near me this year, two fall on my kid's birthdays, one on our anniversary, and I was coaching and my assistant was out of commission for the fourth! One of these days the calendar will be free!!!

Sorry I didn't get more pictures as I was just to enthralled watching.

@Hedgerow and @mortalitool. My filter had accidentally changed to b/w and I thought it made a cool pic. Hedge with the win.


@andydodgegeek racing himself. Left saw won.


@mortalitool and @bikemike in the top handle finals. Mike took home the hardware.


@stihlx8 and @mortalitool. I think Nick won.


As you can see the weather improved drastically towards the middle of the races.

Andy is great. He's funny even without trying.

Andy L77 vs Nick 10-10:

I wish I had gotten a picture of your buddy wearing the pirate hat. That was perfect for the rain!

Ok now the races are over I put my poulan up for sale on facebook anything with a motor 2,500 or less. Asking 250 with 2 chains if anyone is interested. The black and yellow saw in the pic

Thanks to everyone for a good weekend despite the weather. And learned a few new things as well (like remembering to make sure your fuel/oil caps are properly tightened before racing) and at the roundtable discussion at the dodgegeeks after the races.

Saw your 2100 on video, nice cutting!

Thanks. I've thought about having that one ported but it's such a good running one (and in decent cosmetic shape too) it's best to leave it as-is, and make sure it's got a good sharp chain on it.

I'm thinking about a new, profit oriented venture for the Upper Midwest GTG crew: we travel to arid, drought stricken regions and offer to host a GTG. Torrential rain seems to be a certainty. Could pay for a bunch of new saws and gear!

No doubt!

The rain stops when I have to leave so just don't let me leave lol.

 

[GrizzlyAdams86]

Does anybody remember what the name of the newspaper is that wanted a picture of us before the racing started?
