        provided on the entry form.

        Such notes describe the route in more detail than the Road Book and can be used without reconnaissance. The
        purchase and use of the stage notes is a direct contract between the competitor and Neil Allport Motorsport
        with the organiser’s involvement being limited to authorising the use and facilitating the preparation and
        distribution on behalf of Neil Allport Motorsport.
        There is no obligation on any competitor to purchase these stage notes.

11.1    RECONNAISSANCE
        An opportunity exists for those competitors who purchase the approved stage notes to take part in a convoy
        reconnaissance; this opportunity is NOT available to those who do not purchase stage notes.

        The convoy will be strictly controlled. There will be opening and closing times for stage entry established.
        Regulations covering Reconnaissance operation will be issued with Regulations Part 2.

        A compulsory Briefing will be held for all those undertaking reconnaissance. This will be at the Start of SS1 at
        0730hrs. Cars are expected to be back in Napier by 1500hrs.

                          An extra fee of $50.00 is payable to take part in Reconnaissance.

                             NOTE: Unauthorised reconnaissance is strictly prohibited.

        If a competitor then wishes to re-join the event they must do so at a Time Control at the exit of a Service Park,
        eg TC2C and TC4c. They cannot rejoin in a starting position higher than that at which they had been running
        prior to the Temporary withdrawal. They must hand in a “Rejoining” Form to the time control chief.

        NZRC registered competitors may rejoin at TC 6 to enable them to take part in the Power Stage.
        The organisers may require cars that have suffered accident damage to be checked and cleared by the Chief
        Scrutineer or his appointed assistant before re-joining.

        No competitor will be permitted to restart the rally once they have handed in a “Final Withdrawal” form.

D.      POWER STAGE
        The "Power Stage" will be SS5 Mohaka Coach. Should this stage be cancelled prior to all NZRC competitors
        completing the stage then the power stage will be SS6 Waipunga.

J.      SPECIAL STAGE DESCRIPTIONS

        The Wairoa and Hastings Districts provide the venue for the days competition, Wairoa’s rugged, awesome
        contours and amazing scenery is not to be missed. Each road has its own feel and rhythm some with multiple
        changes of surface mid stage.

        SS1 - WAITARA (33.03km)
        Starting from the Taupo road end, Waitara Road is fast! Wide open flowing gravel highway, changing to the
        tight and narrow Pohokura Road down through Kiwi Country towards Tutira.

        SS2 /4 CRICKLEWOOD (26.23km)
        An old favourite, this is “THE ROAD”. Fast and furious, unforgiving corners and big drops – ABSOLUTELY
        AWESOME!

        SS3 - WAIHI (34.67)
        This stage starts from SH38, climbs for 20 kms then follows the ridge for 5 kms. The road then drops to the
        river for 8 kms and then climbs again through the staircase for approx 1.3km before the finish. Good county
        road, soft in places if wet. Weather permitting the good base will be retained.

        SS5- MOHAKA COACH (16.79)
        Another old favourite. This stage has a long history, Starts fast, tightens with big drops then opens again. It
        catches someone every year, so drivers beware. A challenge to get right!!

        SS6 – WAIPUNGA, (DARKIES SPUR) (19.20)
        Another one with a long history. There’s only 19km left but it hasn’t changed in years. It’s still narrow, tight
        and twisting and the drops? They’re still there! A good base.
