Roller Nose Bars!

I believe he was also on ABC's Wide World of Sports. I know Eugene Villeneuve was as I remember watching it.

Bill, Rolin bought Eugene's 250 Yamaha bike saw.....which was the first I ever saw running 3/8's chain and was very fast.

Yeah I was a huge fan of Arden Cogar Sr. when I was a kid in the late 70's simply because he was a big old boy with a big old chainsaw. In those days he was using Rotax engines on his hotsaws. We didn't have TV but my aunt and uncle would tape all of the Timbersports stuff for me and my brothers. This would have been around '78-81.

JJ, you must be thinking of Sven or Ron Johnson who both won Hayward many times, running there Can-Am's.......Arden Sr. didn't run the bikesaws.

.......mel lenz was my fav back then. i miss going to the albany timber carnival back in the 70's. ahh memories.

I miss the Albany Timber Carnival too!......Had many great times there. I just noticed the smoke coming from the pulp mill. If the wind was blowing the right way, boy did it stink!......Hahahahahaha!

Sticking with the roller nose theme......Here's the Hotsaw record holder at Albany....Dennis Harvey, from GrassValley, Ca......running his 460 Maico with a Mall/Remington tip.....Cold start.....one cut, 30" doug fir.....6.86 seconds.

well just like the show the paper mill is no more.

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Really!.....I drove by on I-5 in Sept. and it looked like it was still cookin. How long ago did it shut down?

 

[little possum]

How do they get the logs uniform in size? I know a picture earlier had a bigger log, with a small end turned down...

Albany had it's own peeler. The 100' climbing poles are what became hard to get for them. For years they fell the climbing poles into the pond at the end of the weekend. Here's Melvin Lentz, me, and Rolin Eslinger back in the Glory Days of the Carlton Race Team......with the 100" climbing poles at Albany in the back ground.......and soon to be felled into the pond.

Those climbers on ESPN I see from time to time amaze me.

They pretty much just fall back down to the bottom. Thems got to be some tough SOB's.
This thread has been awesome to read. Dennis, thanks for sharing all of the knowledge about hotsaws and such.

it,s been a couple three years now , they are takeing it down little by little, if you look you'll see the chip piles are pretty mutch gone . you might have been seeing the steam from the wahchang plant next to it on the south side of it.

I'm shocked at how few Stihls have been shown with a roller nosed bar so here's my contribution.
