Cheap saw build off is MS170 017 saws.
Must be stock bore and stroke.
Anything goes for that class for alky, gas, NOS, Piped etc.
Even chain this year too. square or round and can be what whatever you want to run on it. Only this class.

325 round still on 55cc they said and 3/8 on rest of classes.

GL if you attend. They do limit the amount of people as it has grown to big. Like 60 competitors I think now and like 100-150 allowed to attend.

Saw classes for this year will be 55-65-85cc. Seems a lot of you was split between 3-4-5 cube and 54-64-84cc. We are going to stick to are roots and keep it firewood saw with cc classes. Same rules apply as previous years. No race gas or race saws. No pipes or homemade mufflers they must have factory looking mufflers. Chain is round file or grind no square file chains.
In addition to this announcement we are doing a dollar cut log. This is a 50/50 competition. Single cut best time win’s half the pot. Saws must be in compliance with the saw fest rules. No square grind, pipes, race saws, or race gas(nitro, methane alcohol). Run whatever cc you please up to 94cc

Rules for this year. No two piece head on any saws. This is still a firewood saw competition. All regular saw class must run on pump gas including clones. No race fuel methanol, nitro, methane nitro, propane, or alcohol. Must have stock appearing muffler. No pipes homemade mufflers  or expansion chambers. You cannot share saws in these competitions. You must run your own saws. (no sharing of saws) The cheap saw shootout and wild thing classes are excluded from those rules.
The clone wars and cc classes must have chain brakes on them. They don’t have to function, but must be on the saw. Felling dogs are optional in all classes. Bar and chain requirements. Clone wars-660 must run a 24” round file chain. 372 must run a 20” round file chain. Saturday cc classes 55cc- must run a .325 round file chain. 65-85cc 3/8 round file chain. I do recommend at least a 24” bar for the 85cc class. Wild thing must be a 3/8 lp round file chain. Cheap saw shootout 170 is both round or square file. All classes up to 65cc with be cutting 8x8 or 9x9 cants. Larger cc class wood has yet to be determined.
The top three saws in each class will be brought up for inspection this year. The 170 and wild thing is excluded. All classes will have saws running on the ground and hands on the wood. Both the 170 and wild thing is excluded from that.

2024 info starting

Might be some folks that want to get into this CLONE Stock Appearing build off here for Sawfest next Oct. Using the G366 which is a copy of the stihl 361.
Some info that is out = Next years clone saw is ms361 full race
Stock bore and stroke muffler saw it OK.
Must use aftermarket case cylinder and piston.
OEM cranks, flywheels, etc. are encouraged more details to follow .
Nitrous, funny fuel and 2 piece heads ok.
I would think anything goes for a square race chain in this too. Nobody runs round on race saws. So my WAG
This is also why you seen me showing @Red97 Joe the Wayne's video's on Race saws group.
Joe's start in pic.

Eric = 361 clone wars saw for next year is a full race class. This will be a muffler class and still needs to be stock bore and stroke. All fuels two piece head square grind chains are acceptable. No NOS in this class. The saw will be running over the wood. Same as the wild thing and cheap saw shootout classes.

Nitro Alky etc all allowed though. No NOS bottles like on Wild Thing and 170 class

Cheap saw for next year is the 46cc plastic saws again. Poulan 295 4620 etc etc.

So get those build going.

Plus all the same other classes for now.
