Eric = So the boys and I (Saw Fest Committee) have added a competition for this year‘s Saw Fest. We will be adding clone wars to the list. This is a 100% clone competition. The saw of choice will be the 660. You can pick witch brand of aftermarket 660 clone you prefer. We came up with the 660 because that seems to be the most popular and plentiful saw. Same rules apply as last year. Round file only 3/8 must run on pump gas. Woods porting is definitely allowed. 
The cheap saw shootout with have a different saw this year. The poulan wild thing will be what is needed for that competition. The saw has to still be the 40/42cc saw but do whatever you want to them to make them fast as they can be.
Any questions or feedback would be great!!

Eric said new sawfest shirts are being designed for this years GTG 2022. To help raise the funds for 2023.
Also I know he bought a big mill so might even have some square cants thrown in for some racing.

How would someone from Michigan aquire a shirt? Is it for attendees only? Never been to a saw fest/gtg that was thrown privately. Just some small town logging demonstrations during fairs
People buy them at Saw Fest. Also folks have attendees pick them up shirts when they live close to each other but could not make it for unknown reasons.
Last years 2021 shirt back
Lets see if my post here will bump this thread to the top of the page, then I can ,Stick it. Looks like it worked.
Thanks and somebody added the 2022 to the title since I just used the 2021 thread from last year. Thanks.
The date change was done before I stuck it, I left it as is.

Back when I did mine many years ago we had a old saw class plus a top handle class. But they havent added that yet.
Maybe if folks ask Eric and Grant when there they can think about adding them in future.
Old pic from mine a guy that lives down the road a bit, Al Smith.
If our fuel prices weren't so damn high id make the trip from montana!! I still might try and make it work. would love to bring my 7 yr old.
I wish we had more gatherings and stuff like this in my part of the country, Doesn't seem to be many saw enthusiast around here.

Probly just watching the guys at the events will be good enough for me. Sounds pretty exciting
I've made that trip several times when I lived in Great Falls. That is a ride for sure. Thinking 30+ hours.
Think they have them in Oregon and Idaho still out your way.
will there be larger logs.
In pa folks At gtgs have fun with a ported 090.......they like to run it. I let them have fun. They like to try the ported saws.

Look at some of the videos on the back page of 2021. Pretty sure there was big logs to play in too. Since they own 090 880 3120 etc
Also some different stuff. Stack and obstacle pole.
Even a few of the stihl timbersports guys show up.

I just let folks run saws they don’t get to usually.....they have fun.
You still got that ported 034 or 036 that Dean did? I recall it last time you were at one of my gtg's many years back.
I'd still bring it the 090 like you said to let others run too. Eric said = We’re gonna have play logs so people can check out different saws.
Last year they had a drawing for one of those 070 clones while there to raise $ for this years too.
You and me in this old pic watching and talking.
