Some models of the lesser popular saws such as Echo and Poulan
had some models that would really perform well .Unfortunately
most people including myself had never seen one in action except
perhaps at a GTG .It is very surprising to see one of the higher
displacement saws in action .They do exceptionally well .

I was given this toy the other week, a local saw from a local
log cutter / weekend pub racer.
(late 60's early 70's I believe) It was used (i'm told) for work
duties mostly but ,from time to time was run behind local hotels
for some social racing.
The prizes were big bottles of beer and bragging rights in the
hotel.
Wood chopping and cross cut sawing were also done on the same
after noon.
This example of coarse a Solo Rex, but i'm told it has the
larger cylinder giving it 140 odd cc's and he called it a super
rex.
Took 15 minutes to get going and run's surprisingly good, it has
1/2 inch chain on it.
edit,,, forgot to mention, this mongrel likes to snap back,
caught me a few times now.

The Helsel's raced those solo rex saws in the early days. Did
you see the one posted in solo board? They had it at Manton.

Wow, that is a nicely restored saw and with history to boot.
That one has a different shape front handle, wondering if the
one I have is an earlier version with its straight handle.

Remington 880/880g and/or 990 are on my short list. Oly 999
also. A couple more 1106 series Stihls would be nice too.
Poulan 252 or 744 would be a grand find. I'd like to build an
041g Super someday also.
