The lighting looks like it is dyed light pink. Is it?

Just a little splash! LOL...the water was a little too chilly for a swim. :roll:

So I just watched the video.
Im curious as to why you can't back through the gate and then forward to make progress?

I was confused at the time too but I think it would be course direction?
Colby
WOOPOOW!!
Yes, progression through a gate opposite the intended direction results in an automatic DNF for that course. Smartest thing ive said in a while.... :ror:
Yep...your truck cannot enter a gate in the wrong direction...no matter which way your truck is pointing. You will be given a 10 point penalty for any portion of your truck entering a gate in the wrong direction.
1.12 - Course Direction (10 pts) Gates must be cleared in their intended direction and sequence. Any part
of the vehicle entering an un-cleared gate in the wrong direction, or driven through out of sequence will result in a 10
point penalty. The judge will stop time. The vehicle is then moved back by the driver to the previously cleared gate with
the rear axle aligned to that gate. If the vehicle cannot be aligned to the gate due to course design, the judge will
reposition the vehicle to the next stable location after the cleared gate. This location will be used for all drivers. Once the
gate is cleared and awarded progress it can be traveled in any sequence or direction.

Yes, its a course direction rule.
Truthfully, I think its a stupid rule.
It costs a driver time and one could enforce a penalty. But to hit someone with 10pt. Penalty for reversing a gate in order to get forward progress and be repositioned?
Jesus!
So my point was that a judge should not say you can't go through the gate. But advise you of the penalty.

It's not a DNF....only a reposition (10pts and back to the last cleared gate).

That was my spotter warning me, not the judge.

Ohhh oh. Someone is talking smack.
Now go read the scale rules and then respond again.
SORCCA has the same rule.
Here is why I say its stupid.
What benefit does one have with time by going around, taking a penalty, and a reverse by backing all the way through a gate just to get the points.
The ONLY benefit is completing a gate if someone needs to do so.
But wrapped by an experienced driver one running the gate as the rules state and another one running a gate like I describe minus the resetting your truck at the last gate.
I would believe the one running the rules would still benifit point wise.
But depending on the course design, I think it would be tied out for time.
just a personal opinion.
