i would say yes!!! only reason why would be that if they were dead then you could run over the gate and go around a easy way. gate are live to get you to go through them there designed way. my two cent.  |

They're live just like any other gate but progress points aren't awarded for them.

so touching the start markers or finish markers would give me 10 points but i don't get progress points for going through them, why would it be that way, i've been told that that progress points aren't give because they are just marking where the start of the course is and the end is, but if i try to turn it around on getting a penalty for touching them they are considered live gates and i get given points, it just isn't making sense in my head, can some one make a Gates for dummies book for me, cause i feel like a dummy right now

Just don't hit the gates. You set your truck down to start, centered in the gates, drive straight ahead, and continue on through the course. I don't understand how that is difficult to figure out. At most comps, all you have to do is break the plane of the finish gates. If you can't drive one tire between the finish gates and break the plane without hitting one, you need to practice more  .

I think is what he is saying is once you go through the start gate and have to go back through later to realign for gate 1 is that gate still live? That was my understanding.

If you're hitting the start gate, you probably shouldn't be competing in the first place. I'm pretty sure when you pass the finish gate you get a progress point... Quote:

Start and finish gates are live untill the course is completed. NO progress points are given for the start or finish gates. A gate penalty will be awarded if a start or finish gate is touched by the driver or the drivers rig.
