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.Originally Posted by Milan Fistonic
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.
Top of the Road the signs where Milan's photo was taken
Bottom of the Road - intersection with Ngutunui Road
The Esses, think this was the first corner on the 1979 HillClimb
