I can't believe there were no Benders.

Drunks? Some dummy on the sauce showed up towards the end and wouldn’t go away. Kept asking when he could cut and heckling.

West Bend powered saws...Steve Melzer used to dominate the hot saws with a highly modified Montgomery Wards saw powered by a West Bend 820 (8.2 In3) engine.

No I am talking about saws powered by the most prolific kart engine ever. This one is waiting to for a chassis.

I believe it was before you were attending Baraboo but Steve used to run a Homelite 2100 in the hot saw class. I believe it had a GEM V-6 or Mac 4 reed intake manifold someone adapted to it. I believe another year he ran a Homelite 750 in the hot saw class. It was one of a pair he outbid me on down in I believe Arizona. After that is was the Wards WD-99 for years. Not only is Steve an ace at building saws is is a top notch operator in related to racing.

Homelite SXL or some such variant.

Homelite SXL or some such variant.

It definitely looks like one. I do not remember him running one but the last year I went was 2016 or 2017. I will have to look at my plaques to see.

Where are you heading for Labor Day weekend? I have heard Edgerton WI is a good sized show but we go to Mt. Pleasant IA which as far as i know is the largest in the nation.
