Obstacle #1 - Controller Left Turn

The objective is to come to a complete stop before the stop sign/line and negotiate a tight left turn, getting as close as possible to the radius cone without touching it. After stopping, the operator must do this in a continuous motion.

Accomplishing the obstacle 300 points

Stop before stop sign/line

100 points

Going over stop sign/line

-100 points

Radius cone touched

-100 points

Within 6" of radius cone

100 points

Within 7-12" of radius cone

75 points

Within 13-18" of radius cone

50 points

Within 19-24" of radius cone

25 points

Over 24" of radius cone

-100 points

Outside cones hit

-25 points each hit

Changing direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #2 - Parked Cars

This obstacle tests the operator’s ability to plow between two simulated parked cars by knocking down or making contact with the cones between the obstacles. This will test the operator’s judgment of plow blade location and the ability to operate in a confined space. This is the only obstacle where the objective is to hit the target cones. You will receive 25 points for each target cone you make contact with or knock down. 25 points will be deducted for each target cone that is not hit, with a maximum deductible of 100 points if no cones are hit. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.

Accomplishing this obstacle 200 points

Target cones not hit

-25 points each

Hitting barricades or side rail

-25 points each

Hitting outside cones

-10 points each time

Changing direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #3 - Offset Alley

The object of this i sto negotiate the truck through three sets of barricades that are off center to test the operator’s ability to negotiate through tight turns in a confined space. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.

Accomplishing the obstacle 300 points

Hitting barricades or side rail

-25 points each hit

Hitting barrels

-25 points each time

Changing direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #4 - Outside Curve

The object of this obstacle is to negotiate the truck through the curve without hitting any cones. Points will be deducted if cones are hit or knocked down. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.

Accomplishing this obstacle 100 points

Hitting cones

-25 points each hit

Changing Direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #5 - Controlled Compound Curve

The object of this obstacle isto test the operator’s ability t omaneuver their vehicle in a tight curve situation without making contact with any cones. The operator will have to drive forward into obstacle, switch drivers, and then back outto simulate a situation where forward progress is restricted due to an accident or other incident tha tmay shut off this section of roadway. The operator must do this in a continuous motion. You are required to change drivers at stop line in obstacle.

Accomplishing this obstacle 400 points

Hitting cones

-25 points each hit

Changing Direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #6 - Tapered Alley Dock

The alley dock tests the operator’s ability to back the vehicle into a tapered confined space. The operator must back into the space without hitting the sides of the dock and also must stop as close to the back of the obstacle as possible without hitting it.

In addition to not hitting any ofthe barricades in the alley dock, it is the operator’s responsibility to sound the horn. When the horn sounds, the judge will measure the distance to the further most back portion of the spreader chute to the back barricade. If the operator forgets to sound the horn, the judge may not be able to accurately measure the distance to the alley dock, and the resulting score will be based on the scorekeeper’s judgment. After the judge measures, you then can drive out of the obstacle and continue the course. The operator must do this in a continuous motion except at the back portion where the measurement is required.

Accomplishing this obstacle 200 points

0-6" of rear barricade

100 points

7-12" of rear barricade

75 points

13-18" of rear barricade

50 points

19-24" of rear barricade

25 points

Over 24" of rear barricade

-100 points

Hitting rear barricade

-100 points

Hitting barricades orside rail

-25 points each hit

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #7 - Cul-de-sac

This obstacle is designed to test the operator’s ability to maneuver their vehicle within a cul-de-sac or round about situation. The objective of this obstacle is to negotiate the truck through the area without making contact with any cones or mailboxes in the area. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.

Accomplishing this obstacle 300 points

Hitting cones

-25 points each hit

Hitting mailboxes

-50 points each hit

Changing direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #8 - Diminishing Clearance

The object is to negotiate the vehicle between the cones (the cones are gradually set closer together) without hitting any of the obstacles. This obstacle tests the operator’s ability to properly align the vehicle and to judge distance on either side of the vehicle. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.

Accomplishing this obstacle 100 points

Hitting cones

-20 points each hit

Changing direction

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Obstacle #9 - Stop Bar

This is the final obstacle on the course. The driver must complete the driving course by coming as close as possible to the stop bar, without touching or going over it, and honk the horn. As soon as the operator honks the horn,the time will stop.

100 points will be given for completing the course within the course time. If you go over the course time you lose 100 points plus 1 point per second.

Measurements will be taken from the toe of the blade, and points will be given as follows:

Accomplishing this obstacle within 6" 100 points

Within 7-12"

75 points

Within 13-18"

50 points

Within 19-24"

25 points

Over 24"

-100 points

Touched overline

-100 points

Changing direction 

-5 points each time

Stopping

-5 points each time

Over course time

-1 point per second
