When a truck (either 2.2 or super) tries to clear a gate and rolls, is it just 5 for the roll. Or is 5 for a roll, plus 5 for a touch, plus five for a reposition?

Touch: (5 pts) are given for any intentional or unintentional touching of the vehicle while running on course.
Vehicle repairs that don’t require tool use may be performed without additional penalty. If driver must lift the
vehicle from course to inspect for damage he must notify judges before doing so.
Rollover: (5 pts) points are given when vehicles rollover, and cannot be corrected without touching. Vehicles
that land back on their wheels are not penalized. No reverse penalties are given until vehicle is back on 4 wheels.
A vehicle can only be pushed back on to its wheels from the side. Anything else is a reposition.
Reposition: (10 pts) points are given when a driver must reposition their vehicle in order to continue. Repositions
are placed back on the course without making forward progress. Judges reposition and/or approve the reposition
of the vehicle.

Rollovers and Repostions are 2x separate penelties. (Repos are 10 pts BTW)

Touches that are part of the Roll Over or Reposition are free, but if you do anything else like trying to secure a loose battery you would be given a touch penalty.
