Cool vid, what's the chev-bodied rig got in it for power? That's some serious wheelspeed that thing's got going.

And dude, where are you from? The dirt there looks like the surface of the moon!

(further proof the moon landing was faked? )

Some sort of outrunner. I'm actually surprised it has stayed running for the last couple years with all the mud, water and sand that truck has seen.

It's one of the best scale locations we have around here in my opinion. The rocks are of volcanic nature and have great traction for most all tires...only down fall is that the rocks tend to wear your tires pretty fast if you do burn outs on them.

We refer to the place as wheelin' on the "moon". It's the White River Canyon area. It's glacier runoff that creates the river and each year the river floods and wipes the area clean so each spring it looks different.

I'm just glad I live close to it. It's only about 45 minutes for me to get there unlike everyone else in the club who lives an additional 30-40 minutes from me.



At the ORCRC Scale comp on June 22nd this year we had to still deal with snow covering most of the area. Who wouldn't want to wheel their scaler on snow in the middle of summer? Great times.




An older video from the area, about 2 years old but gives you another look at the area as a whole.

Cool vids. I also liked your solo run vid.

What camera did you use in your vids?

I don't remember which one I used but they are both Sony's. Both are a couple years old just your basic MiniDV cameras.
