Obstacle #1 – Offset Alley
The object of this obstacle is to 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 side rails | -25 points each hit |
| Hitting barrels | -25 points each hit |
| Changing direction | -10 points each time |
| Stopping | -10 points each time |
Obstacle #2 – 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 1his in a continuous motion.
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 200 points |
| |
| Hitting a cone | -40 points each hit |
| Changing direction | -25 points each time |
| Stopping | -25 points each time |
Obstacle #3 – Controlled Right Turn
The objective is to negotiate a tight right tum, getting as close as possible to the radius barrel without touching it. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.
| Accomplish this obstacle within 6" of radius cone | 200 points |
| |
| Within 6"–12" of radius cone | 150 points |
| Within 12"–18" of radius cone | 100 points |
| Within 18"–24" of radius cone | 50 points |
| Over 24" of radius cone | 0 points |
| Radius barrel touched | 0 points each hit |
| Outside barrels hit | -25 points each hit |
| Outside rails hit | -25 points each hit |
| Changing direction | -10 points each time |
| Stopping | -10 points each time |
Obstacle #4 – 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 50 points for each target cone you make contact with or knock down. Points will be deducted for hitting the barricades (parked cars) and for hitting the outside cones. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 300 points |
| |
| Target cones hit | 50 points each hit |
| Hitting barricades or side rail | -25 points each hit |
| Hitting outside cones | -10 points each hit |
| Changing Direction | -10 points each time |
| Stopping | -10 points each time |
Obstacle #5 – Mirror Clearance
This obstacle is to simulate tree branches hanging low on the sides of the roadway. The objective is to negotiate through the two uprights without touching them with your mirrors or any other part of the vehicle. The driver or passenger may not adjust mirrors during this event. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 200 points |
| |
| Clearing both upright pads | 200 points each hit |
| Hitting either pad | 0 points |
| Hitting cones | -25 points each hit |
| Changing Direction | -50 points each time |
| Stopping | -50 points each time |
Obstacle #6 – Plow Target
This obstacle is to test your judgment on the front comer of your plow. The objective of this event is to hit the far left pad with your plow marker and not touch the obstacle with your truck. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 300 points |
| |
| Hitting left pad | 300 points each hit |
| Hitting center pad | 200 points |
| Hitting right pad | 100 points |
| Hitting obstacle with truck | 0 points |
| Hitting cones | -25 points each hit |
| Changing Direction | -50 points each time |
| Stopping | -50 points each time |
Switching Drivers
Drivers will need to switch at the stop sign (stopping the truck and setting the park brake) between obstacle # 6 (Plow Target) and obstacle # 7 (Serpentine).
Obstacle #7 – Serpentine
The serpentine obstacle is worth a total of 350 points - 175 points for pulling forward through the obstacle and 175 points for backing through the obstacle. 50 points will be deducted for each of the serpentine barrels that are hit in each direction. If an obstacle is knocked down while pulling forward through the obstacle, every effort will be made to reset the barrel. If a barrel is hit and carried under the truck, the driver must stop immediately, to allow course personnel to remove the obstacle. Each stopping or backing movement to realign the vehicle will also result in a 25-point penalty. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 350 points |
| |
| Barrels hit | -50 points each hit |
| Changing direction | -25 points each time |
| Stopping | -25 points each time |
Obstacle #8 – Alley Dock
The alley dock tests an operator's ability to back the vehicle into a confined space. The operator must chive into the space without hitting the sides and must stop as close to the back barricade as possible without hitting it (100 points within 6" and 100 points for avoiding rails & barrels) . In addition to not hitting any of the 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 from the top left hand comer of the plow 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 pull out of the obstacle and continue the course. The operator must do this in a continuous motion.
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 200 points |
| |
| Within 6" of rear barricade | 100 points |
| 6"–12" of rear barricade | 75 points |
| 12"–18" of rear barricade | 50 points |
| 18"–24" of rear barricade | 25 points |
| Over 24" of rear barricade | 0 points |
| Hitting rear barricade | 0 points |
| Hitting barrels or side rails | -25 points each hit |
| Changing direction | -10 points each time |
| Stopping | -10 points each time |
Obstacle #9 – 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 | -40 points each hit |
| Changing direction | -25 points each time |
| Stopping | -25 points each time |
Obstacle #10 – 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 it or going over it, and then honk the horn. As soon as the operator honks the horn, the time will stop.
There will be 100 points possible for the Stop Bar and 100 points for completing the course at or under the course set time limit.
For the Stop Bar measurements will be taken from the toe of the blade, and points will be given as follows:
| Accomplishing this obstacle | 200 points |
| |
| Within 6" | 100 points |
| 6" - 12" | 75 points |
| 12"-18" | 50 points |
| 18"–24" | 25 points |
| Over 24" | 0 points |
| Touched or over line | 0 points |
| Finish within course time | 100 points |
| Finish over course time | -1 point per second over |
| Changing direction | -10 points each time |
| Stopping | -10 points each time |
