Printer-Friendly Straight Line

Purpose:
The contestant is required to drive the designated tires between the rows of markers comprising the problem without stopping and without touching or displacing any of the markers.

Scoring:
Basic score minus penalties.

Penalties:
5 points - for each instance of stopping.
5 points - for each problem marker that is touched. The marker does not have to fall or be displaced to count as a hit.
15 points - for each instance of going out of bounds and/or striking course fixtures other than the problem markers.
25 points - for failing to follow instructions.
25 points - for failing to maintain a normal driving position.
50 points - for going past any set of fixtures in a non prescribed manner with their vehicle.

Note: This is not intended to punish the driver for a simple misjudgment of the first set of markers. Therefore this penalty should not be imposed until the tire is adjacent to the second set of markers.

Dimensions:
W= 4" wider than width of point of measurement (overall width of vehicle if driving entirely between the markers; overall width of widest set of duals measured at the side bulge if driving through with just one side of the unit).
A= approach, at least 100' off a turn.
L= 25' to 50'
E= minimum is length of vehicle plus 10'.
