Monterey Historic Race Dinner at Tarpy's

[MattAlpha]

I've created this new thread to tie a question from two other threads together.

For everyone who is planning on attending the 33rd Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races and would like to meet up with some other pelicans, I have a tentative reservation at Tarpy's Roadhouse for 5PM in their Patio Room. My reservation is for 20 people and we must leave by 8PM so that they can prepare for their next reservation.

I can change this (room or number of people), but I must do it by this Friday when I have to firm-up the reservation.

There are a few more options that we can choose from if we collectively decide to.
They offer a "Set Menu" (includes salad, main course, desert and non-alcoholic drink) for $30 a person.
We could reserve another private room (either the library for $150 or the vendor's room for $50) that are currently available.
The time is set for all of these rooms from 5PM to 8PM due to previous bookings.

I figured for those who would like to take a drive, we could caravan down to Cannary Row or else where after the dinner.

Let me know what you guys think,
Matt

what day?

Another option would be Duffy's in Monterey. I am told the food is great and the beer better. Have not been there myself but the locals I know say its a good place that may not be so crowded.

Dave, Saturday night/evening. Are you heading up for this?

[TRE Cup]

yes- i am going up , via some fun roads, leaving L.A. early thursday am so can see the pebble beach concours rally in downtown carmel, then hopefully christies preview at the airport in the early eve, Friday concorso, friday nite either russo/steele or rm , Sat track, sat nite rm (i need to be there by 7:30) , sunday track and go home- then i get to do it all again the following thursday to come up to laguna for the POC weekend- car overload!

i am up for trying duffy's late afternoon saturday - say around 5pm? - (have done the excellent tarpy's several times)

[Trust Me]

Day for Tarpy's? Great spot. Down town will be too packed. Around the corner from Tarpy's is a 7-11 with more parking.

[TRE Cup]

i am good for either place, given we can start early enough- i think i can start as late as 6 if we have the tables ready for us
thanks

[MattAlpha]

The reservation is for Saturday at 5PM, but I can change it so please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Matt

Put me down for 2 people at whatever place you guys decide. My only request is that they serve beer.

Dave, you're going to make it to the Concorso? Keep your eyes peeled for the silver and red 356 ... I'll see you there.

5 pm okay by me- how about the others?

btw- Friday evening in carmel valley there is this bar/restaurant that is the local cruise hot spot- except on barry bonds steroids when the historics/concours are there. Last year saw Derek Bell and family, several notable auto writers, tons of weird and wonderful cars inc a tiller steered 190? single cylinder horseless carriage as original a barn find driven the 2 miles to/from the place

Another nice event is the rally held Friday night in Pacific Grove. This was descrived as a rally for people who wear Levis instead of Sevens by Sportscar Marketplace. We have been to this rally/show after Concourso for the last 5 years. They get a good cross section of cars from hot rods, 356's 911's, to some british stuff. They shut off the main street and line the cars up there. I will try to make it to either Tarpy's or Duffy's.

Tarpy's is a good choice. We ate there before the USGP bike race last year.

I am OK for Tarpy's... the Historic IMSA group gets no track time on Saturday so it easy for me.

[TRE Cup]

ok- i am for sure- confirmed one person for tarpys saturday nite.

[sammyg2]

I have no idea what my schedule will look like up there but I'm going to print out this thread beforde I go just in case.
Lots of rumors of parties and dinners but nothing for sure yet. I may be sitting in my hotel room feeling sorry for myself wondering where all you guys are

[DByers]

Okay, Put me down for 2 adults and 2 kids for Saturday night @ Tarpys. See everyone there!!!
