Rules.

-Rules and judging have been streamlined to make it easier for everyone to understand and help judge to move the day along. If you have ever judged at a SORRCA based scale event you can help judge at the TTC .

Numero Uno Rule #1 Have fun!
This is the ultimate test of man and scale machine and its all about a good time. Drivers are encouraged to help other participants with course direction, winching, etc.

Winching: Vehicles must use onboard winches. No HAND winching. Drivers may use natural winch points or other trucks to winch from.

Recovery tools must be carried on rig and then placed back on rig after each use. ie. pullpal, tow strap.

Dig/rear steer: Class 3 rigs equipped with dig and/or rear steer use them at any time on course and no penalty will incur.

Repairs: On course repairs are not allowed. Break on course, time is stopped and the driver will received appropriate points for the last gate progressed on course.

Off course repair is allowed. After your repair is done, you move to next course to move the day along. If you can't repair your rig you will get a DNF for any and all courses not finished.

Points and Penalties:

Hill Climb, Sled Pull and Mud Bog courses will be judged on gates progressed with no reverses, gates or out of bounds allowed, Time will stop once the truck has stopped making forward progress, has hit a gate or boundary makers during a run and driver will receive appropriate points for the last gate progressed on course.

Rubicon, Obstacle Course, Frame Twister and Tank Trap courses will be judged on gates progressed with gate/boundary and rollover penalties calculated against the drivers score within the allotted time for the course. Drivers may reverse and winch to assist or recover their rig at anytime during the run with no penalty. A driver will receive a DNF penalty once time runs out before the driver finishes the course minus progress points.

-A gate or boundary touch on course, such as the Rubicon, Obstacle Course, Frame Twister and Tank Trap will incur a +5 point penalty.

-A hand roll over on course, such as the Rubicon, Obstacle Course, Frame Twister and Tank Trap will incur a +10 point penalty.

-A Progress points (-2) for each gate cleared.

-Point out/DNF (Did Not Finish) +50 point penalty. DNFs are given anytime a driver accrue 50 penalty points, cannot complete a course for any reason, course time expires or truck breaks before completing the course.

Scoring:
Gates progressed and penalties incurred will be calculated for each specific course. A total for all courses will be tallied and scale points will be subtracted from the overall score for your total score of the day.

Event scoring:
Lowest score wins. In the event of a tie, there will be a tug of war between the two drivers with a best of 2 out of 3 tries.

Course Descriptions.

Hill Climb: Course will be laid out on a steep grade with gates, boundary markers and a finish line. Drivers will navigate the course and progress gates to reach the finish line.

Sled Pull: Drivers will pull a designated vehicle/weight along a track with gates, boundaries and a finish line. Places will be determined first by full pull times and then by distance (if a vehicle does not make a full pull).

Places will be determined first by full run times and then by distance (if a vehicle does not make a full run).
