Thumbs down I'm Guessing Not...
I'm guessing that the OCCRA officials will not allow 2 wiper motors to be connected to a single speed controller. The reason being, is that your stall current would exceed the 60 amps that the speed controllers are rated for. (I know a single drill motor can exceed this 60 amp level, thats why this is a guess and not a statement.)

I'm hoping the officials will allow two of any motor, other than the wiper motor and drill motor, to be connected to a single speed controller because their stall currents are all less than 30 amps. (the sum of two would then be less than 60)

I know this probably doesn't help much since I am not an official, but if I were a betting man....
