How’s dates lookin for yous guys?

Secondary to the GTG I might do something 23-25 if GTG doesn’t land there.

I still have it on the calendar for that weekend but it’s not a big deal to push it farther out as long as I have a few weeks notice.

 

[davidwyby]

Settled march 2

Come get some sunshine and thaw out

Kinda jumped over here :

HELP! - Northern California GTG?

Has there ever been any GTG's in Northern California? Maybe someone with experience in organizing GTG's could help spread the word or utilize the site in a way that I'm not qualified to do. If there's enough interest I could likely come up with a venue depending on size and scope. Any help would...

Jeff a young porter guy is gonna put it out n maybe along with Mike an older one. I’ll be there a little early for a funeral so will see.


What size saw classes and wood y’all think?

I don’t remember all the cubic inch stuff but I probably have an entry for every 10ccs

 

[Ketchup]

2cube = 32.7cc
3cube = 49.1cc
4cube = 65.5cc
5cube = 81.9cc
6cube = 98.3cc

 

[davidwyby]

That seems like a silly way to class them. 372 vs. 80cc saws? 346 too big for 3 cube? Or am I missing something?

I’m just learning this stuff but usually there’s a 1cc of variation allowed. 346 is usually allowed in 3cube but so are 4910 and 261 (all 3 are over). People do run 372 in the 6cube but I’m not sure how they win. 365 Special is dead on 65cc/5cube.

Sometimes the classes are by CC (30, 40, 50 etc, or 35, 45, 55, etc). Every race is different.

Size of wood matters a lot too. 372 has a chance against 7900 if the wood is only 12”. If it’s 28”…

None of my saws are “fast” lol but can bring a decent amount.

 

[davidwyby]

I’m all for just run what you brung but I think some guys are gonna want some competition.

Logs are looking like 18”, 28”(ish), 8” cant.

 

[davidwyby]

I’d suggest/prefer to class every 10 cc or so.

 

[davidwyby]

I will probably just bring whatever saws others are interested in running against.

Ported I have a 50cc, 70,75, 76, 80, 90, 95, 120....off the top of my head.

 

[davidwyby]

Did I mention I will probably bring some desert dried eucalyptus for anyone who wants to test their durable grind?

 

[Boomer2230]

So a Southern California winter break...... do you go to where the snow is?
