    Your 357xp ran great at the GTG.

    I'd be torn between it and the 460.. He does build a mean 460. I just ran my new 440 Arctic and I got times of 3.6 seconds per cut. My 460 runs about 2.8 (or a hair under. Same Cant, same chain). To put that in perspective, my Solo 681 and the 385xp I just sold to Shawn Curry run about 3 seconds flat. Both the 681 and 385 are 80 cc class saws.

    Hope it's done by the next GTG ;)

    I will probably make mine an annual thing. It was Oct 4th this year. I'd like to move it up a few weeks. It was cold and blustery, just as it was at Swags in May.

    Or maybe one of you southern boys can have one? :D I wouldn't mind coming down and riding a day with you and cutting a day with you. :thumbs:

    So... anybody know what a good used 545/2252 should go for? $300 sound fair? Thanks!
    Did you get Dan's fixed? I sent him one of those NOS Pistons...

    Keep up the good work! I've got a 262xp that's calling your name... :saw:

    With a date that is before Feb 1st? Anything is possible. But my vacation (90% of it) needs to be in by Feb 1.

    Not saying I can't make one without the advanced notice. But it makes it easier.
