Before the stage start

[Rallynavigator]

You may have your own system but I find this works for me.Prior to entering the stage put your road book on the next road section page, like-wise your pacenotes when you finish a stage, turn them to the next prior to putting them out of the way, this will make it easier at the start of the next stage when you may be in a hurry if you’ve had a problem.

Agreed about the road book, but not the pace notes. That approach is OK if your notes are always in a nice numerical sequence but when you make your own notes it is common that the notes for the next stage are not on the next page of your pace note book, and may even be in a different book. I have better things to do at a stage finish than search for notes I don't yet need, so I usually do that during the road section, or at the next stage arrival.

Not all of the notes I have are in order also, with this I use post notes with stage numbers on them and just turn to the relevant page at / approaching the time control at stage finish, works well for me

What if the next notes you need are in a different book? Do you go searching through your rally bag to find them?

You must be more organised than I am Approaching/at the stage finish I have enough on my plate to stop my stopwatch, check my time, note competitors' times, find my time card, find my road book, and breath a sigh of relief for getting through another stage. Dealing with the notes for the next stage is something I am happy to leave till a less busy time. Plus I often want to jot something down on the notes for the stage just completed, so I may want those notes still easily to hand.

With a door pocket I dont have to reach for bags. The notes ,  timecards , road book are just on a rotation system I use. One behind the other and the one at the front is the one I need
