PAST 2018 spring CT GTG, April 7

LMAO. This is fuggin awesome. I do have a secret stash of some 026s I picked up. I buy the purty ones. Low use. They come with all their screws! And run very well. I am not a good mechanic because they don't break and I am always running them!!!! Making some money with them, working them cutting real trees. LMAO
OK, by now I know I have really pissed some guys off. I am sorry for that. (Not really) [emoji23]
But this is all in good fun. I respect all you guys, even if you run Hooskies, Dollys, Dolkitas, Johnyreds, etc. @LeeH is in another league or 2 up from me so I do not even attempt to go there. Lol
Thank you for your generous sales on the bars Bob. Greatly appreciated. And for the mobile parts delivery service, that is parts for my only Hooskie. Lol
And Kevin, ask Jason, I did beat him a few times, and he beat me a few times. Everyone wants to race me for some reason. Lol. My saws work, not race. [emoji106]
The cants were side dependant on determining who won or lost. Lol one side was knotty and bigger than the other. [emoji14]

In closing. Please realize that I joke almost as much as Angelo. So that puts me at 135%. Angelo is at 150%. Lol

This really is a cool brotherhood we have. Takes your mind off of the every day grind of life.
BUT I still think about my Stihl's daily. LMAO !!!!

Woah....whats this 135% stuff ?
Last time I was checked I was maybe 123-124 % joking. After much porting (lowered my exhaust) and timing adjustments I was down to 116-118% joking. I've worked so hard to be serious and now I'm hurted by you... :[

 

[huskyboy]

Every time I fire off that Echo it puts a smile on my face. It's a real hoot to run.

It almost reminds me of a modern day 090 or a big mac. Quite a experience to run it. Thanks Lee. Your saws are the highlite of the gtg’s for me. That custom 70cc dolmar was fun too.

Come on now. Come COCO. LOL

I plan on making the next ct gtg. And I will bring my son next time. He’d love it and fall right in the fold. I had a blast. Thank you to all ecspecially Dan for hosting!

There were some rediculous saws there.

I’ll bring that oe 346. but think I’ll have to bring something a little stronger if I’m going to keep up with you on the other end of the cant. Let’s see what I can come up with.


You still want some other tops to play with?

Curious how a 242XP spinning 15,500 would do in those 8" cants vs the 50cc saws. But there's always a saw or two that you wish you thought to bring.

We all need a van like that rig Lee was driving.

 

[Stihlms]

Everytime I see Lee run a saw, it's like he's a machine..very smooth. No matter what saw he picks up and runs it's as if he's ran it many times before. Lots of skill right there!

@Spike60

2150 had a ported 44.3 top on it

Gave it to my nephew he makes firewood with it now.

Bob You were about 5 feet from this 242. It had a 42 special top cover. I made it special with a 242 top no gasket. Some port tickling and ignition timing.

They are fairly close.

Yes we freehand milled the cants and did the “run what you brung thing”. We didn’t use off the roll chain or anything. So the racing was all fun, but pretty meaningless as far as which saw is stronger.
But who cares! We had a blast!

 

[RI Chevy]

I wasn't complaining, just explaining. Lol
It was a good time and all in good fun. [emoji41]

Yeah I really liked how the racing went lots of action and even more smiles

I know Jeff, and I was elaborating. [emoji41]

 

[Stihlbro]

By what video I seen, it looked like a super fun time. I will have to make it to the next one.

Good job Dan!!!!

 

[MustangMike]

So Dan, I hear you will be the transporter of my new big boy!!!

 

[RI Chevy]

Your going to have to leave some saws at home to have room in the Stang to take this puppy home. Lol

Good job Dan!!!!

[emoji33] I would be honored if you came Joey!

Oh is that yours? I have a couple “new” saws here... [emoji849]

You might see that van again in NY if the owner doesn't need it. I had 17
saws in there with still a bit of room for a few more.

 

[malk315]

@Lee H that van is so "you" ... cracked me up. Great saw hauler I hope your buddy can part it with it for the NY cannonball run

 

[Lee H]

Me too Eric, It was actually pretty comfy to drive. 82, 83 max speed.
Fuel mileage was great too.

That's why heads up racing is fun... it ain't all about the saw

 

[Moparmyway]

Most everyone did 2 races, one from each side

It was a blast !!!

That’s what’s great about the CT gtg ....... everyone has a fun time and we all laugh and joke around. You’d better be on your A game with Jeff, Dan, Angelo, Jack, John ........ the bowl breaking was just hilarious !!

Most of the time, you didn’t see it coming
