I expected this to be a race

[Definitive Dave]

I seen that dave

 

[T.Roller]

Only reason you beat her the 4th time was cause you pushed her down

One of the guys, it might have been @leadfarmer, told me that Sarah had told him she came to the GTG for three reasons -
1.) run saws
2.) eat food
3.) beat Dave

So when she started to grab the chaps I asked @fordf150 which of the nice stock Makita/Dolmars he brought would be a good match to the MS261 I saw @PA Dan helping her with.
Like a dummy i went against his advice and chose the smallest saw, figuring my burly good looks and literal months of racing experience would make up for any difference in CC, and of course since I am swell guy I wanted to make it fair.

Well in cant racing you can normally feel the other person's progress, and RPMs through the wood.
I figured a nice self feeding picco chain would be competitive in my skilled hands.
Around :27 in the video when you see me look over at her, startled, that is the point where i felt her clear the bottom of the cut.

At that point I am frantic and ready to run again.
Eager to redeem myself and make a decent showing I proceed to miss-cut the beginning of the second race multiple times 38) and again she crushed me.

Reaching deep into my inner calm I centered my Chi and prepared to vanquish my opponent through a measured, focused approach in the third race 58).
Turns out youthful enthusiasm and a bigger saw will beat an old egotistical maniac every time.

Sarah 3, Dave 0
Backed into a corner with nowhere left to turn, I reluctantly resorted to cheating.
A race ported MS661 with custom everything and a good chain is a fair fight right?
She graciously shook my hand after my crippling humiliation. I have faith in the future of humanity.
Please nobody give her a race chain before next year's GTG.
If she beats me even when I cheat I will need therapy.

My loving wife has no sympathy whatsoever and planned to show all of her co-workers my multiple defeats from the weekend.
GTGs are really the best, did I mention how good the food was?

make up for any difference in CC,

Lol, Squarefile layed the smack on Andrew running my 394 w a short bar, my chain. He was running one of his 3 cubes. At least it was close...

Dave, you missed your calling as a storyteller. When the rest of the world finds out how much fun we're having, you can be the corespondent that reports on TCN. The Chainsaw Network. You are such a gracious loser and good natured hommie! Your wife is just mean. Maybe that's why they confiscated her vee dub...

 

[fordf150]

Only reason you beat her the 4th time was cause you pushed her down

pretty sure he kicked her too

 

[T.Roller]

pretty sure he kicked her too

I thought I seen that too but wasn't sure

 

[PA Dan]

You guys are too much! Dave you are incredible! So glad I got to finally meet you. Thanks for taking the time to spend racing with my daughter! In a day where kids are spending way too much time with a device in their hands or away from their family. I'm glad my kids chose to spend the day with me and a bunch of like minded chainsaw nuts! My oldest daughter is up in NY and I bet she would have been there also if she was home! That gtg will be remembered for quite a long time. That being said Sarah needs a race chain! Guess I need some cants out by the wood pile! Can't wait to do this all again!

 

[PA Dan]

Btw my wife was struggling to explain to her coworkers where the family was and what we were doing!

 

[mdavlee]

Like burning creamsickle.

Ohhh burn

Most wont understand. And no, there will be NO chain saw waves like the jeepers do.

Or motorcycles.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Dave maybe your chain was on backwards.... again.lol, was a blast watching her with a smile from ear to ear.

 

[spencerpaving]

Dave...yer good people ....I'm a little worried what saws you are gonna show up with at next year's gtgs...I have a feeling you are gonna be heavily armed

 

[Deets066]

[stihl livin]

Maybe Dave could get dans daughter to run his saws. She is way more consistent

 

[jake wells]
