Hey TOG, did anyone figure out how Robby can run the Primm race in the AM which actually ends in the early afternoon EST, have a 5 plus hour flight to Richmond and be there for the start of the race? I know this was discussed before, but no one had any info as to how this can be done. Is someone driving the 7 car for him that race possibly? I really hope he does run Primm but what a logistical nightmare.

I remember that..from my childhood when I watched Star Trek, and I think he'll need it to make both races. Think they still have one laying around from the Star Trek exhibit at the Hilton they took down? Think they'd let him use it? Or maybe he can astral-project himself back to Richmond.

It 's the "Transporter", though when Robby uses it, he modifies the command a bit: "Jim Beam me up, Kirk".

I hope the swine flu outbreak does not affect the race. There is talk of travel restrictions in areas that are effected.
