Who owns a 2012 Large 9 series speed concept? (paging Carl)

Does anyone want to do me the most solid favor in the history of the universe?

I just finally heard back from Trek warranty (bent steerer tube - not from a crash or anything other than over-use) that the fork has a 2 year warranty, and my bike is 3 years old. The warranty request went in over 1 week ago. I am in north Jersey, my bike is in Philadelphia, and I fly Thursday morning to Milwaukee to race on Saturday.

As it stands, I have the following options:
1. don't race. Cost: flights (~$500), hotel (~$400)
2. race with the bent steerer tube. Cost: potential that base bar wobbles/comes loose/crashes/something breaks.
3. have Trek paint a fork tomorrow, ship it Wednesday to a Trek shop in MKE to arrive Thursday, have said shop install on bike 2 days before the race (di2 setup, etc). Cost: $500 for the fork + shipping + install. Assuming the shop can schedule it in 2 days before the race.
4. Hope the wonderful folks on ST can come help...

Anyone want to rent me a loaner? I'll pay all shipping + any reasonable rental fee + guarantee to replace if damaged.

If I have multiple offers, I have the 9.5 frame, so it's the black/grey one.
