There's only one type of support that I adore more than tubes, and that's wooden.

^ Same.

Although Sawdust was amazing, Speed o' Fear was better in my opinion.

Although I hated on SoF in the last one, It is clearly better than Sawdust in this one.

Sawdust.

Sure SoF is the grandpa of tubes in terms of smoothness and overall execution. But Sawdust is the KING of woodies. It truly is. I haven't seen a woodie since that really beats it besides maybe other models by RCK. It truly is just a masterpiece.

This one is tearing me in two. BTW, just for my own knowledge, who was it that 1st used the green 4-ways to make palm trees on this site? does anyone know? It is a great idea, but it has been used many times, however i think the person who 1st came up with it deserves some props. Plus, my god there must be 1000's of blue 2.25" rods in that woodie. Can't decide.

Sawdust is king of a dying style, while SoF is the catalyst to many modern models.

I went with Sawdust. The track was a lot "cleaner" in my opinion.

I see why Speed o' Fear won. It's just one of the most legendary there is.
