Krispy Kreme Rally- tomorrow and Sunday
The Krispy Kreme Doughnut Rally
The objective is to make a purchase at each of the Krispy Kreme Doughnut shops in the greater bay area, in a given sequence within a specified time window, which should all be accessible at legal speeds.
How it works;
You show up at the start in the car of your choice, with a navigator who likes doughnuts and doesn?t mind going out for drives (to help you eat all the doughnuts and tell you where to turn.)
You will be assigned a car number and issued a set of instructions which show the driving directions and ?Car #0 times? to get to each of the Krispy Kreme shops, which will serve as checkpoints.
You may approach the checkpoint either through the drive through window or inside, you only need to get a receipt with the time stamp from each of the shops.
The ?car zero? times will have a 5 minute window between arriving and departing each checkpoint, by adding your car number in minutes to the car zero time, you can determine your appropriate time window at each checkpoint.
Zero Doughnut points will be issued for receipts stamped within the time window for each checkpoint, one Doughnut point per minute outside of that window will be the penalty for early or late arrivals, with a maximum per checkpoint of 5 points.
The winning team, the car with the lowest accumulated Doughnut points at the last checkpoint will win??.(what else?) -a dozen doughnuts!
So you can drive like a madman and get there early and wait around for your time to go inside a buy a doughnut, that is expected from this bunch, but keep in mind, a ticket or accident costs you a lot more than a dozen doughnuts, not all of the cash registers will have been synchronized, lines at drive-thrus and cash register operator timing might potentially impact your scores, and all you win in the end is more doughnuts anyway?..
The instruction format is intended to be really easy with fully detailed instructions to every KK, so no one will get lost or need to resort to ridiculous driving. If anybody comes out and enjoys it, it might get trickier in future incarnations.
There will be two separate chances to participate in this event, the first at 6:30PM this Thursday March 6th, and the second at 3:30PM Sunday the 9th, both starting at the Concord Krispy Kreme 1991 Diamond Blvd in Concord- (out behind the Benihana?s)
If you can?t make it to Concord, get instructions at the Mountain View Krispy Kreme, exactly 2 hours later.
Total run time about 3 and a half hours- finish in Union City
C?mon out, have a few doughnut and enjoy the challenge!
