Thanks Matt & Lisa,
Glad I finally made to one of yours.

Great to meet a new bunch that I had read their posts for years.

Mike, your 350 was a high point of the event! Too cool man!

Thank you, it is my favorite firewood saw! Be the last one to go if I had to sell!

It's a keeper!

I'm going back into my 357 and make a few adjustments. Also have a 359 on the bench that needs a top-end. We'll see...

I'll have to say the high point of the gtg for me was when my daughter yelled out "that's my dad, he won" when I won the tweener race.. I love her so much! That meant more than winning!

Yep, makes your chest swell up and your eyes get moist. Funny how that happens.

Since you started parent/child experiences, I got a good one. Sam wanted to race his chainsaw (38cc Earthquake). I tried to talk him out of it but he was persistent. I hoped Matt wouldn't let him but he was no help. So we practiced a few times. Anyhow, he raced and lost but I was proud of him for trying (heck, I have never raced). He gets off the race trailer and says, "Dad, I am going to need another saw if I am going to keep racing."

He doesn't know it yet, but, now he is getting one for x-mas. I have a nice Stihl 361 I am willing to trade for a strong stock 40cc saw. I would consider a 50cc but not sure if that is what is best for him. The 50cc class races are tough.

No kidding. You should get him to tell you about the car in his avatar, if he hasn't already. My dad used to race cars in the '60s. I wish he had been there to talk racing and to hear the story about that car.

Man that's awesome, but don't trade off ur stihl. A good 40cc and under saw can be had cheap. Heck, I may have something laying around... We will find ya something.

Thomas, 2375 wildthing built right will race!

Echo 452evl/John Deere 50v. Good for the 40cc class and strong even stock, with full size 3/8 chain.

I have 2-361s. One stock and one ported by Terry. Obviously, I am keeping the ported one by Terry. I will hold on to the stock 361 for now, but am willing to do some sort of trade.

What saw were you cutting that last log with (the log we ran through my splitter)? You were cutting through the whole log as fast as I could mark the log with my 361.

One sick Jonsereds 80 ported by awol!

I remember that one from the races!!! No kidding, you were cutting through 17-18 inches of wood before I could make it an inch. I just marked and got out of the way. I can't recall a saw that ate through wood like that. It is a show stopper for sure.
