Lumberjack show saw races

[Chainsaw Jim]

I recently came across this poster at a saw shop.
It's the Gene Campbell memorial lumberjack show held in cottage grove, Oregon each year.
There are three classes..
Up to 80cc competing with 14" Douglas fir, 80 to 100cc and 100cc and up, both competing with doug fir 20".
All three classes will compete with two cuts per run.
There are no restrictions on entries like before. You can build your saw however you want and enter it in the size class it belongs.
I believe if I understood what I heard correctly there will be a saw challenge using available saws with your choice of chain set up. I'm assuming that's the big log bucking. He was on the road when I was talking to him so it was kind of challenging to hear everything.

I'm hoping to have an entry in each class. I guarantee you I will not win but I hope my saws at least give em a run. Lol

I hope to see you there Jim. Are you still coming to the Steamup at the end of the month?

If they allow pipe saws, you better have one. I have seen saws perform when Smittybilt put a pipe on them, and there is no comparison.

I was there two years ago and there were pipe saws and bike saws. It seemed fairly serious to me with some of the prizes being bars or a roll of chain to the top dog.

Saw fun you going to go run?

All I have is my 101 with BDC which would not be anywhere near competitive. I'll just spectate if I make it down there.

I was told there are no limits in either of the classes. Use any type of fuel, mods, or muffler/pipes. He said there were problems in the past with saw regulations which were unclear to several competitors who showed up and couldn't race their saws.

I found some videos of a couple competitors from past events.
One 100cc and up run..

A 5 cube run..

And big log bucking..

Unfortunately not. I realized a week ago that is the day of my wife's birthday...

I've been thinking of doing the same at my local fair. I think it would be fun!

I suggested the timed cuts a while ago, with just a brief description of each saw so everyone knows if they are comparing Apples to Apples.
