THE LAYOUT The Concours has moved this year to a new location which is between Sand Hill Road and Oak Road, near Stanford Hospital. A close up of the location shows the location of Blackberry REACT and the Explorer First Aid group in the front of the parking lot that is to the left of the parking structure as you face the field. This photo shows the parking lot and the south side of the parking structure. If you face the field, this photo shows the south end of the field and this photo shows north end of the field. This illustration is an arial view of the area with the preliminary layout of the field. Note on this illustration that there are yellow marks across Oak Road. Those indicate that the street is closed between the yellow marks, at both ends of the field. This Acrobat File shows the layout of the field with a Legend idenfifying where things are on the field. WHAT WE WILL BE DOING As of the Concours meeting on 6/22, this is what I think we will be doing (any of this is subject to change). There will be about 6 Explorers assisting with parking and we may be called on to help coordinate them. The Lions Club is going to charge $5 to park in the parking structure. Access will be from the 2 entrances at the rear of the structure. After 10 am we may be called upon to collect money as the cars enter. They may stop collecting parking money after 12 noon or 1 pm. On the field, our usual patroling and monitoring the fences. Assist traffic and crowd control during the procession of winning cars. Specifically, there will be two of us at the end of the ramp where the winning cars exit. We are to tell the driver to return to their original location on the field and NOT to exit until the end of the Awards ceremony. Assist with traffic control as the cars on the field leave after the event. There are two exits, which are roughly across the street from our booth. HOW AND WHEN TO GET THERE We will be setting up at about 8am Sunday morning in the parking lot to the left of the parking structure (as you face the field). The Concours ends at about 4:30 pm. I will find out what our manpower needs will be at the next meeting. From El Camino, turn onto San Hill Road, which on the right side of Stanford shopping center as you face the shopping cetnter. Proceed toward Stanford campus on Sand Hill to Stock Farm Road (there is a signal there). Turn left onto Stock Farm. You will come to Oak Road, and if you turned left, you would enter the Concours area. However, there will be a gate there to register and let in cars that will be on display. Continue down Stock Farm Road and on the left you will see a driveway entrance to the parking lot. Go in there and drive along the back side of the Parking structure to the Park & Ride Lot. Staff Parking is on the right hand side of that lot. Park there. If Staff parking is full, go back to the parking struture and you should be able to park there without paying. ID yourself as Blackberry REACT. From 280, take the Sand Hill turn-off and go toward Stanford Campus. On Sand Hill go to Stock Farm Road and turn right. See the directions above in the second paragraph for El Camino for additional instructions. Going north-west on Junipero Serra Blvd., turn right on Campus Drive West and go to Stock Farm Rd. Turn left on Stock Farm Rd. and turn into the driveway behind the parking structure (it should be the 3rd driveway on the right) and proceed to the Park & Ride Lot as described above for the El Camino entrance. Note: Junipero Serra would normally connect with Santa Cruz Ave. and then Alameda de Las Plugas. However, that is now blocked totally with construction at Alpine Rd. From the north going south-east on Alameda de Las Plugas and then Santa Cruz Ave., turn left onto Sand Hill Road and proceed toward Stanford Campus to Stock Farm Road. Turn right onto Stock Farm Road and follow directions in the second paragraph under El Camino. An Alternate Route to the Staff Parking would be to turn onto Pasture Drive toward Stanford Hospital, then right onto Welch Road (the first right). Turn right at Oak Road and left into the parking lot. The staff parking area should be marked.
