[T.J. Bexten]

got to love Art's storys!!!

Yes Kevin had a great weekend!! But there is always two sides to the story! I'm not here to make a bunck of excussesand have people feeling bad for me but!! The 680 solo I ran was not D.C.'s saw it was one that I got a few days before the races!! I spent the day before the show testing some fuels with not much luck the saw ran like #### in the cold start races!! I just find it kinda crazy how you let everyone know what saw your chain was on but forget to let people know that the 084 was a saw D.C. built!!!:monkey: The show on sunday in the 5and under kevin won I was second, The 5and over I won kevin was like 4th or 5th!!!! it was the only race for the solo that was a hot start that we had every other was a cold start! That weekend I had 3 1st,2nd,and a 4th in the saw races! So Arty give me a few shows to get that solo running right and after that any time you want to race I'll be ready!!! (you can name the price!!!)::angry2: Well on a better note I just got home from morton and it was a great show!! It is by far the biggest show on the west coast!! and I didn't see you there!!

Don’t blame me for any errors on how you placed in the different events at the Sunday show in Benelia. Kevin called me after the show and I wrote down what he told me. If there are errors, you have to take it up with him. I wasn’t there, I was just the messenger.

I didn’t mention that the 084 that Kevin bought from D.C. that was supposed to be race ready but he had to spend a lot of money on it to make it competitive. His poor showing at the White Pine Logging Show proved that it wasn’t race ready. He placed 4th at that show right after buying it and it was against the Rupley brothers.

Of course, it isn’t necessary to put down whose chain it is every time. I only did it to show how ridiculous it is that when someone uses my chain and does poorly, D.C. always mentions that it is my chain.

No need to make any challenges against me because I haven’t entered any shows since 1983. I just enjoy helping people, who ask for it, to do better and to promote the sport for what it is. To me, it really doesn’t matter who can cut a round off of a log faster than anyone and then the next time someone else cuts it faster. After all, this is a sport, and part of competing in a sport is good sportsmanship.

Congratulations on your 2nd place win at Morton and the other events you won that I had wrong.

Best regards,

Art Martin

Art.....If you're gonna post at least get the facts straight! Don't blame Kevin, you're responsible for what you say and post! I see a bunch of facts wrong or you left out after reading your first post. Are you getting senile in your old age? Kevin didn't win the hotsaw on Sunday, TJ did!.....and Kevin's got the 084 working real good now that he's not trying to run 30% nitro, or switch the carb back to gas, and that wasn't my personal 680 either. Hey Art, did you build that P52? Oh, that's right you don't build saws, you get someone to build them for you.....and then act like you did all the work....Hahahahahaha! If you're going to promote sportsmanship, at least tell the true facts!

Art it sounds like your stuff does poorly quite often . But hey keep trying one of these days you might get it LOL

 

[spacemule]

Why don't you all just go down to a Hooter's restaurant, take a waitress into a bathroom with a ruler, and be done with it?

There has been a running feud for eons. Yes, he's well respected by most here, and that tends to further fuel the fire.
