And evildky might be right.

Awesome.
But what part of evildky is right? That the event is not for you???? Totally disagree. I don't see how missing the key, and not being able to get around that in time enough to bail is a reason to not participate. That would beyond freak me out, too- especially when starting a drive on a questionable car that could strand you anywhere between Windsor CA and Florida. Let alone the conditions being projected to be bad in Florida.
If you can go, go. If it's too late, do it next year. And make copies of the keys.
One observation I've made that keeps repeating is how people rush to finish the cars, just to mak the event, and then stop and move on after the event. If you don't go, use the year to really develop the car. Even if you are not trying to win, you are better off making sure that the car is as good as it can be- just to have the best time possible.
It was a tongue in cheek comment. We area group of people finding all sorts of creative solutions to problems (often of our own making). If all entrants lost their keys, I'm sure you'd see a variety of work arounds, Some I'm sure more sophisticated, some more bute force.
