Ready for the spring Woodsman's Race

My saws are ready for the spring race.











Last year I didn't even place in the 50cc class. I ran my Stihl MS260 Pro (slightly modified by a race saw builder in Ontario). It is my main work saw. This year, I have made some improvements to my race chain. The saw is much hungrier than it was last year. I still probably won't place with it, but I'll make a lot of noise. Here it is.








I will be competing in the 80cc class this year, also. I just bought a brand new Dolmar PS 7900 and sent it to the same builder for some much more extensive work than the other one had done to it. This saw is extremely hungry. When I start it in my driveway and rev it up, trees for blocks around just fall over in dispair. I very well may win the 80cc class. In fact, if I do well enough in that class with it, I may run it in the 90cc class also (against larger saws). Here it is.


You remember the Honda 50s and 70s that we used to ride when we were kids. This thing has a larger engine than those did. Different type, but bigger.
