Mark, I just called PictureLine to reserve a Canon 100-400 for the Utah Grand-Prix race weekend, since Pictureline isn't opened on Sunday they do give you Sunday free. I want to pick up the lens Thursday evening so they will charge me a $10 early pick up fee but I'll have the lens for Friday morning. The whole thing took about 5 mins on the phone to reserve the lens, quick & easy.
