Difference between revisions of "Finish Location"

Revision as of 10:56, 15 May 2015

A good finish location will have many of the following characteristics:

Place orders at the counter – so each person or group of people can order and pay separately
Various types of food – because not everyone wants the same thing (not even pizza)
Open late – to allow at least an hour after the finish closes for protests, announcements, awards, and discussion
Good lighting – so people can read the critique
Plenty of room – so everyone gets a seat (including normal non-rallyist customers, if we don't have a room/area reserved)
Near the rallye's end – because no one likes long final traverses to the finish

The following have been used as finish locations for past rallyes.

Address: 4400 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose
Reservations: 866-642-8950
Phone: 408-983-0900
Details:
- Large rooms that we can reserve; plenty of room for 30+ cars (depending on how many rooms we get)
- TV screens that we can connect to the computerized scoring system
- About 15 minutes from Larry's AutoWorks

Address: 174 E Fremont Avenue, Sunnyvale
Phone: 408-720-8884
Details:
- Cannot reserve rooms; usually enough room for 12-15 cars
- Can be crowded/noisy, especially for big sporting events

Address: 1127 N Lawrence Expressway at lakehaven

Phone: (408) 734-4221
Details:
- There is a reserveable side room with long tables.
- Tell them we expect 50 people, so they won't seat others in this side room.
- Waiters take orders and deliver food, so a tip is expected.
- Open Saturdays until 9:30 PM.

This is not as nice as others, but is pretty empty on Saturday nights. Could be noisy nonetheless, since they have pinball and arcade games.
