A guy that worked for me went to a technical college here in Maine
about 25 years ago. He told me about chain saw racing, one of the
favorite pastimes of the wood harvesting students. Find a deserted
room with a carpeted floor, block up the back end of the saw so the
chain touches the carpet, tie the trigger down, and let 'er rip.
