Looks more like Colorado than PA. (in the background and the types of rock)

Nice

Awesome!

I have always really liked the Sniper! What is the difference between a V1 and V2?

Is that place big enough for a ECC or nats? I would really like to visit the east coast for a bigger comp. Half the fun is traveling for me so I am not super interested in going to back to LRC over and over.

The place is awesome terrain, as far as a non club comp highly doubt it.
East coast comp you should come out for the NE qualifier

Rig is working good. Looks like you have those uphill gap transfers down. You could probably run slicks on that rock type too.

Believe it or not, I was looking at that comp. The only problem is the dates. Its only a week after the AZ comp and doing comps back to back would be impossible for me to pull.

Next year we will make sure that The Northeast National Qualifier is a bit farther apart from the other larger comps. I had to go with the dates that were available from the off-road park so we could get the entire place to ourselves.

Nice
Palmerton is one of the few places where you can find that type of conglomerate rock in PA. It is our clubs favorite places for scale and comp. crawlers events.





It is a spine of a mountain ridge that runs about 3 miles in both directions

Thanks alot Erik! The main difference between the V1 and the V2 is that I lowered the shock mounting locations so the chassis was a bit happier using a 3"-3.5" shock and having a good range of ride height adjustment. The V1 worked awesome, but with a 3.5" shock, fully extended, the ride height was maxed out at a hair over 3" and I just wanted to have more adjustability to go higher if desired. both chassis have identical link geometry.

This place would ROCK for abig invite comp, but I doubt it could ever happen logistically. I believe it's private land and EPARC has limited permission to comp there, so having a group of 150+ people up there with cars, campers, pop-ups and vendor booths would probably be impossible. Theres only a small parking area and no ammenities.

The NEqualifier would be the best bet, but I hear ya with it's close proximity to the AZ comp. Maybe next year....

Yeah...this was a love-hate flick for me. Loved the rock, climbs etc. Hate how SHORT it is. My wife said watching crawling videos is like watching a baseball game on TV...But I love watching ball games & I love watching crawling. Stupid wife.

In all seriousness...rig looks DIALED. I had my doubts when you approached that undercut but she pulled it nicely. Great driving. Now quit reading & go film some more please
