[5R-INC]

We hit up the beer garden after the races. He only had 2. Thought he could handle his alcohol better then that. I guess Damon must be learning something working with you guys. He was pretty excited to beat him.

Big thanks to Andy and Sara for all your hard work putting these things on. By all means just ask and I am sure other people will step up and help out so you can enjoy yourself more too. Cant wait for Grantsburg. Should be another great time. Thanks for the great pics Philbert. My son enjoyed getting to see other people enjoyed seeing his old pickup too.

I'll help ya out with some names...

OK, I realized that I took something like 80 photos. Lots are 'repeats'. I'll try to post a bunch.
I am really bad with names (especially when everybody has 2) so folks can help me out.

Will try to break them out into some rough categories.

Saws

Lots of shots of trailers full of saws. Here are some folks with theirs:

Andydodgegeek

(Hey! Didn't I see you in "Happy Gilmore"?)


The Roberts men, Duane (5R-INC) and son Damon

Matched set!


Jon (Heavyfuel)

Notice how the satellite link direct from Germany adjusts the tuned pipe!

Philbert

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Some more names with faces for ya...

Duane (5R-INC) vs Andydodgegeek

From the Front

Sarahdodgegeek vs Derrick Johnson

From the Rear

Andydodgegeek vs Heavyfuel

Pipes blow and chips fly!

Local feller Cory vs Wes (an AS friend)

Sorry Sarah but AS is my Facebook. I didn't think I could get a saw to Scott and back in time either. Guess I'm just going to have to send it and be down to one saw.

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Couple more names...

(aside from the grandstands . . . )

Duane's back

Proper, and popular attire

John (Old Guy) and his lovely guest, Sheryl (sorry if I spelled that wrong), along with the Stoolmaker's brother, Marty

Are the canopies for protection from the sun or the wood chips?


Nate (Heavyfuel's son) onlooking...

Ready to jump in

Chris (Pele55), Damon, and possibly another Roberts boy?

Hemlines are so hard to predict this time of year.

Here is a picture of the race cants for next weekend, I will be bringing them loaded on my old 47 Dodge.

Now that is beautiful!

This on the other hand was one of my old Dodges. Not quite so pretty.

It wasn't the branches bouncing off it in the middle of the night (propped for effect) but the sound of the bang when the branch hit the hood, sure woke us up.

No, it was the mechanical stuff that went. Tranny, timing chain, etc. Still got a thing about Dodges, though.

 

[sarahdodgegeek]

Some car name, too...

What brand of truck is that Andy?

The 1947 dodge 2 ton

Cants-R-Us!

Anybody got a Poulan sticker?


1966 Ford F-100 (Damon's new sweetie - now KEEP IT OFF THE ROOF!)

Classics love a classic

The aftermath from the races.

My old Massey Ferguson garden tractor, I brought it to pull the trailer full of saws. I didn't really need it but then again I really didn't need 25 saws with either.

Here's me and Philbert getting ready to duke it out.

Me and Derrick running what looks to be the 49sp race.

 

[andydodgegeek]

Me and the local fellow Cory, he seemed to be a real nice guy. I told him to join Arboristsite.

Derrick and Adam going at it with the 49sp's.

Pele beat me with his 49sp, my grips were oily.

Here's Duane giving the camera man a golden shower, while Wes is pulling up on his end.

 

[andydodgegeek]

Again Duane spraying the camera while Dale is trying to keep up.

Dale (Adam for those who don't know about the joke) and Damon

Derrick has this look everytime he races, and everytime he is asleep in the back of the Tahoe on the way back from Iowa.

Damon handing me my ass

 

[andydodgegeek]

Jon and Jacob (father and son) having a Dolmar match

Jon looking intense

The Glovers doing a pipe saw race

 

[andydodgegeek]

Me and Jon with the pipe saws

Here is the face I make when I'm making a stool.

Duane and Jacob, these guys did real good this weekend.

See I told you so.

 

[andydodgegeek]

Cory and Wes

Old guy and Cory

Check this out, two locals racing Cory and Doug. I think this chainsawing could get popular.

Oldguy and Kevin (Kdeerpark I think is his username)

Thats it for tonight, the computer is getting really hot on my lap. Might not be so bad if I was wearing pants.

 

[andydodgegeek]

Hows everyone doing? How's it working out in North Dakota JD? Quite in here today.
