    Just figured I would put this out there for all the FHC members in the MN / WI / IA regions.
    The Chisago County fair in Rush City, MN will be having saw races July 19th at ~2:00 PM
    Classes for stock and modified saws. The stock classes are usually quite popular.
    This is not a hard core format... It's for anyone that wants to race. All classes of size every 10cc, from 45cc through 6 cube and over. Vintage classes also..
    This may be the wrong forum to post this in, but wasn't sure where it belongs...
    The family and I will be making the trip up there this year..

    The nice thing about these Co Fair races, is all the stock classes and the good local participation..
    The fellas up nort do a great job of supplying enough race cants to run everything from top handles to piped hot saws...
    If you can make it run, there's a class to play in...

    What saws are you racing? Or should I say, what saw are you racing your chain on? I figure the stock saw comes down to chain and technique of the operator.

    The short notice killed any chances-- this is smack in the middle of a planned camping trip and the old lady would have me killed and stuffed.

    I too was thinking about Griz but no idea how close it is to him?

    And it does not matter based on above post from him.

    Looks like 3-4 hours of travel, not quite in my backyard. If it was closer I could swing it.
