D1.4 Acceleration – Scoring<br />
Vehicles with acceleration times that are more than 2.5 times that of the fastest vehicle will not receive a score for this<br />
event.<br />
D1.4.1 Teams attempting the event, but exceeding the time limit will be classified as “Excess Time”.<br />
D1.4.2 The following equation will be used for the acceleration score:<br />

The Hill Climb Event is designed to measure each vehicle’s ability to transmit excess (climbing) force to the ground. If<br />
local terrain does not support a significant Hill Climb, a Traction Event may be substituted, usually involving pulling an<br />
excess load.<br />
D2.1 Hill climb or Traction Event – Objective<br />
This event tests the vehicle’s relative ability to climb an incline from a standing start or pull a designated object, e.g.<br />
“eliminator skid”, vehicle, or chain, along a flat surface. The organizer will determine the hill height steepness and<br />
surface or object to be pulled.<br />
D2.2 Hill Climb or Traction Event – Procedure<br />
Each vehicle may make two (2) attempts with the best time or distance counting for score. If a vehicle cannot complete<br />
the course and get a time, it will be scored on the distance that it travels before stopping. Once the vehicle stops moving<br />
forward the attempt is over and the attempt is scored for distance at that point. Vehicles may not continue the attempt<br />
after they have stopped on the course.<br />
D2.3 Traction Event – Penalties<br />
The organizer may modify the penalties imposed for different violations to account for differences in the length or<br />
design of specific event courses.\<br />
D2.3.1 Driving off Course Score as maximum progress at point of DOC<br />
D2.3.2 False Start First - Rerun at end of line<br />
