It explicitly does not say in the official rule book that time machines are not allowed, but the implication is clear (with enough espresso) that they must be human powered. I do believe the Time Standards breach of the time-space continuum was certainly people powered. So this year we will have two years. Those of us who prefer the good old days will be at this year's race in 2007 serving our beloved Queen Emma. Those of you who prefer the present day, you be here now folks, why you can serve Queen Sohotshe and attend this years race in 2012. Me I will be at this years race in 2017, or perhaps 1969. I was too young for it the first time. Well, I'm out of time. Remember, this race is about me. For Doug Lory.
