Peach,
I will give you a different answer than Alanevada. If this were a weekday or if the direction of travel you asked about were in a different direction, then probably he is right about too complex. However, June 16 was a Saturday and except from the western part of the Belt Parkway to Coney Island it should have had reasonable traffic. The drive from Kennedy Airport to Coney Island is 15 minutes. The task itself is the unknown as it would have to be very quick. From Coney Island up to the Belt Parkway to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway to the Brooklyn Navy Yard is slightly under 30 minutes.
So, could it be done in 40 minutes? Highly unlikely with the task time at Coney Island added in.

Apskip, in fact you're providing answers to one of my questions.
There was too much traffic between both places?
June 16 was a Saturday and except from the western part of the Belt Parkway to Coney Island it should have had reasonable traffic. From Coney Island up to the Belt Parkway to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway to the Brooklyn Navy Yard is slightly under 30 minutes. (I did a little Google Map research after my post, and according to GM the estimated time is 26 minutes)
And you agree with me that the key factor on this is the time, and how much of it they spend on doing the unknown task at Coney Island.

Someone sended me this back, so I can tell you that they haven't visited Groningen the days the race went to the Netherlands:
--- Quote ---Goedemorgen meneer Meinderts,
Ik heb in onze agenda gekeken welke verhuringen in juni hebben plaatsgevonden, maar vind daaronder geen Amerikaanse spelshow.
Misschien kunt u iets duidelijker aangeven wat men in de Martinikerk deed of de naam van de spelshow?
Mijn aanvullende vraag is wat is de achtergrond van uw verzoek om meer informatie?
Een hartelijke groet vanuit de Martini van Tini

Good morning Mr. Meinderts,
I have looked in the agenda for the rentals of June, and I haven't found any rentals of an American game show. Maybe you can be a little more specific what they did in the Martinikerk or the name of the show?
My additional question is what the background is behind this request?
Sincerely,
So we can assume that it was either the eel or the ditch vault RB.
