The event - pitted provincial
truckers in a complex compéti- the final event is another stop

tion of driving skill, - line with the driver having to
—_ stop within 6 inches from the
by Philip Musselman - line without going over it,

A written ‘test and the ner-
vousness of having a large au-
dience contribute to the com.
plexity of this contest, Broker
said. This year drivers were
given Kenworth rigs to operate
with 48 foot reefer trailers;

Broker has had a good history
since he began rodeos. His first
year, 1982, he received wide ac-
claim as rookie of the year and
in 1984 he reached sixth place in
two events, and finally in 1987
he won everything.

Broker will next compete in

the national championships in
— -——~ Toronto on Sept. 12, and if he’s
successful there he will move-on
to the world meets in Europe.

To even be considered as a
competitor in the rodeo Broker
had to have been accident free
for a year, and had to have
worked full-time for eleven
months for no more than two
companies,

“It takes years of training and
practice before you «an. think
about this type of competition,”
Broker explained. oo

Broker performed beautifully,
almost obtaining a perfect score.
The judges dock participants —
points whenever they fail to
follow perfect procedure. There
are eight events which test the

precision of a trucker. Oo John Broker
