ROUTE:
The route is contained in an area bordered by Rt 16 between Wilson Mills and Oquossoc on
the south and the Canadian border on the north. Maps will be available at registration.
The route is approximately 120 miles long with 84 miles of special stages (5). There are
no dead end stages. Most of the stages are 1 or 1-1/2 lane, current or ex-logging roads.
Some are being used as access for current logging operations: all are on gravel or dirt
most likely snow covered. Current road conditions will be posted at registration Friday .
The time frame is such that the committee does not believe lights will be necessary.

SERVICE:
The service area will be in the DOT lot, Rt 16, Wilson Mills. All service personnel must
sign the waiver. There will be a single service between stage 2 and stage 3. This will
also the lunch break, but no food or gas will be available. Bring you Own. There is no
servicing on the route. It is necessary for the team to be able to travel 65 total miles,
41 miles of stages, without the need for refueling.

SEMINARS:
A seminar for all previously unlicensed ClubRally competitors will be held at 8pm on
Friday at Linnel. Those unable to attend must contact the chairman beforehand. In
general those unfamiliar with the timing system should attend.

PARC EXPOSE / PARC FERME:
There will be no formal parc expose / parc ferme for this event. However, the locals do
like to come out to scrutineering.

Start times will be posted at 8am on the official notice board at the Linnel. The actual
start of the event is from the MTC in Oquossoc. Leave yourself at least 1 hour to make the
