The Big Boys- Other than chainsaws
Preditor 215 Buick V-8 1.94
Gitter done Toyota 21R 2.77
Name??? Ford V-6 2.97
Foreplay 215 Buick V-8 3.16
Revtech Harley 6.46
No surprises with the Preditor, just a mean machine. The biggest surprise however was the toyota 21R. The Toyota gave up a lot of displacement and still came in second place. Mighty impressive in my book.

Joe ran just for fun becasue his 2 piece cylinder was not allowed by the rules. Ben would have been in the money if he had not cut out at the very end.
For those who want to get into racing saws; This is a great starter class. A place for a person to get some time under their belt, a chance to talk with other racers, a chance to learn about chain and motor building. Most racers are a great bunch of guys and are willing to help new guys.
At the end of the day it was a whole lot of fun. Art Martin happened to be up in this neck of the woods and made his way over to the show. TJ bexton who is always competitive at this show was unable to make it this year as he was taking care of his wife and new born child. Congratulations TJ
On another note; I spoke with Lee williamson and if we want to sponsor an Alky class we are more than welcome to. I will be way more involved this next year helping to get get a few more classes set up and the rules known for them way in advance so that next year maybe we can get some more of the national competition up here at this show.
Just a side not for the ladies reading this post or for the guys who want their ladies to get involved. Ellen Morris in her mid 50's with her Husqy 55 was only 1 of the 4 people who hit the water mellon in the felling compitition. this was out of about 18 participants (most of whom are proffesional loggers). A whloe lot of sheepish guys out there on the landings this morning:blush:
...Hahahahahaha!
