Milan, fantastic, thanks for that, I didn't even make 6th in class - 1601 - 2500 in the 2138cc TR4A, against all those Escorts and the odd Mazda Rotary .. I can now put some of my notes in order.. comment about TCC being the last round oops !!
There was some mention that the Hamilton Car Club round was at / near Pirongia, must now Google the Road Names in the area, and am going to be in Pirongia this weekend, so maybe drive the road[s] ..
Pekanui Road was used a number of times as part of a stage in Rally NZ. It starts at the cross-roads up on Mount Pirongia and goes through to Ngutunui.
This photo shows Mikael Ericsson at the start of Pekanui Road. He has just come through the intersection from Okupata Road while the road on the left is Pirongia West No 2 Road. Pirongia West No 1 Road is on the right.
Great photo Milan, the road is now sealed up to that intersection,I dove up there on Saturday, the three Roads Pirongia West, Okupata, and the extension of Pekanui are still metal.
Top of the Road the signs where Milan's photo was taken
