Believe it or not, they never sponsored me, only paid me to make some cuts for one of thier infomercials...The company went broke not to long after so I never got the free ride I was hopeing for.

No kiddin'? you still got the Prolong stickers on the saw... I can't remember if I saw them or not this year. I always thought they might have sponsored you. Too bad it didn't work out.

There maybe one old ratty one still on there. As far as sponsoring they did give me a ton of product (oil,grease, etc) really did me no good so I gave most of it away or used it to start a few stump piles out back so I did leave a few stickers here and there. Kinda tough to get people to write checks and while product is nice a 55 gallon drum elephant dung really doesnt do me much good. I do have a few major players that have stepped up here and there but do not want the liability side of a unlimited hotsaw so they help but am told to keep it quiet. Beyond the show money we get at most shows any financial help usually comes from doing static displays at saw shops, car dealers and auto parts stores and the like.

I don't mind doing the Deming or Buckley shows for free as that money goes to the busted up loggers fund as well as I do it for free with exibition cuts for our veterans organizations. It is way more fun racing when we have a whole host of unlimited saws out there to square off against eachother.

I am the only saw guy out there that hits 25+ shows a year in 5 different states and canada, this is where a little monetary help comes in handy.

I guess the reason I wrote this is that I have heard through the grapevine that I had big money backing me at one of our local shows and may not be allowed to race again there because of it. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I built the Predator when I got layed off from Boeing in 01/02 and built it with no financial help whatsoever. Even most here probably doubted it would come full circle. I did however have people like (Bekkavar, the foreplay guys etc.) who shared there saws with me so as I could get some ideas. Some I liked, some I didnt and some I seen where it could be improved upon.

Anyway, enough rambling, I am proud to say the mighty Predator won every single race this year and there are some mighty fast saws out there and darn good men behind them.

Good post Robert. I have enjoyed watching you race the Predator over the the years. You keep a pretty intense travel schedule with the saw. More power to ya! I'm glad you still hit Buckley and Deming, since they are usually the only 2 shows I can make it to. Sometimes I get over to Sequim, and next year i wanna get over to Hoquaim. I am still toying with making the 406cc Rotax bike engine I have into a saw. One of these days....

My hat is off to you and the Predator. I know most of the big hot saws sit in some loggers shop all year long and usually aren't even started until the night before the show. Or maybe even the day of the show!

Thanks for the fun shows through the years Robert! ...and givin' the Binford some competition!!! Now they are chasin' you.
