    IP, you're more than welcome to bring your own saw......putting your wife on the other end? That's priceless!
    I think we'll have some fun cutting with those old saws!

    should we have 2 classes 50cc and lower and above 50 but below 70cc

    I found some Craftsman saws on the list for 40 bucks this could be fun

    Gonna be a tame race considering the motors all turn at the same RPMs. That race would be all about the chain.

    Still got the receipt. I was gonna buy 4 of them. But this was the last one. I paid $79.99. So I am still in :)

    I like this idea... Not everyone can afford a 440/441/460 or bigger to "Race" with. Surely we will run the big saws. But I think we should definitely have a "El Cheapo" saw race. 2 classes. Under 50cc and under 65cc (you will be hard pressed to find an off name brand with something bigger than 65cc).

    They didnt have one, so I didn't ask. But it couldn't have been to far north of $100?

    The motors all turn at the same RPM, but if one of these inventive guys can figure how to change their sprocket, well, we might have something interesting here!

    I asked somewhere else on the net about a Chinese saw to get to okay with and was talked out of it. And here 4 months later all y'all guys have one?? I feel cheated :).
