Al or Mitch, are either of you interested in hosting this proxy on Wednesday?

I think it's best if we postpone. There are too many cars that have issues with whatever is going on with their guides. Others are perfectly happy, and some of these are very nice runners, so they should be fun drives. If Mitch or Al wants to host, that would be fine!

For those who need it:

Our address is 19560 NE Herring Lane, Newberg, OR 97132

Coming from Portland, take I-5 South until Exit 294 toward Tigard/Newberg. Take the exit and merge onto Oregon 99W South. In 16.5 miles, turn right onto N Main Street in Newberg (Oregon 240). Go 3 tenths of a mile on Main Street, then bear left onto W Illinois Street (Oregon 240). Stay on Oregon 240 for another 2.03 miles until you see a blue sign with four nearby wineries (i.e. Roco, Four Graces); this will indicate the turnoff for Red Hills Road. Turn left onto Red Hills Road (watch for traffic from the left; it's kind of a blind corner). Go about a half mile on Red Hills Road, then turn right onto Herring Lane.

Herring Lane is a typical country road - completely paved but narrow.  There are numerous places to pull over to allow others to pass (driveways and flat carve-outs along the road).  Please be cautious approaching the vineyard on the left where there is a small drainage ditch (about 2 feet deep) following the roadside (It's marked by reflectors for visibility at night).

On Herring Lane, there are three speed bumps and only the first two are marked (the third is at the crest of the 2nd hill).  If traveling by GPS, it may be incorrect and will claim you've arrived about 1/4 mile before you truly have.  We are located almost at the end of the lane on the left-hand side (white picket fence/gated entrance with grape motif). 

The gate code is 1956# and be careful as the electronic gate opens out toward you.

You have about 45 seconds to drive through the front gate before it automatically closes.  Once through the gate, drive to the top of the driveway and take a right at the first opportunity, which leads down our second driveway toward the Cottage.  Park your vehicle on the gravel to the right (north) of the Cottage.

Never claimed to be a mathematician. We should be able to be done sooner then. We'll miss you, Mitch! I don't want to wait too much longer, as I've already had the cars for about 3 weeks, and I hate to make proxy owners wait for results.

Great! Anybody else?

Could you come if I gave you a ride?

I can do Saturday, 4/1 as long as it's in the daytime (prior to 5:45 pm). Will anybody be available during the day on the 1st of April? There are only about 9 cars, so it shouldn't take too long to get through them all.

Weekend nights until after April 7 are out for me, but after that, the sky's the limit.

Just a small reminder....

"Romeo and Juliet Choose Your Own Ending" opens tomorrow (Friday, March 22) and runs Friday-Sunday through April 7.

It really is a fun show.

Cars are supposed to arrive by Monday, 2/26. I'll see when I have some free time thereafter for running the race. Do you all favor the weekend for the event? Or do you prefer an evening during the week?

Absolutely i would host! Name the date!

There are 11 cars in the field. You can see the entries here: https://www.hrwforum.com/forum/proxy-ra … ild-thread
