Haha, it's one of those stories you never forget if your heart is into competitive chainsaw racing.
The sport wouldn't be what it is today without the good folks from down under.  :)

Bill's son Lance was a bushman who also raced it was he who contacted me a few years ago now must see if I can contact him again Tasmania isn't that big a place
After all Tasmanians are easy to spot as they all have two heads and four legs

It would be nice to know what happened to this powerhead I believe it used a single ignition system with a twin outlet coil .... there was a coil assy out in the early 60's for Mac's
