Default Any board sponsors want to help me get to the LTx shootout?

I am putting out a call for help to get to the LTx Shootout. No one around here rents trucks for towing except commercial renters (I do not own a business) and Uhaul, which charges .69 a mile (which would cost me $800.00 in milage fees alone). I have a trailer from a friend and just need a tow or truck to get there. If someone would like to sponsor me, I have plenty of room for advertising space on the car GMHTP will be there so there is a chance for magazine coverage.

Just call up enterprise or something like that. Don't tell them you are towing anything and don't run into anything. I'm not saying anyone else will chime in, but I see you're over 21 so renting a truck should only cost you about $30 per day.

I have already tried Enterprise. Their trucks are not set up for towing.

Rent or buy a trailer hitch. Get the bolt in kind vs. the weld in kind. Trust me this type of thing can be figured out. I managed to get the only uhaul car trailer available in a 300+ mile distance in 5 hours the day I needed it. You can figure out how to get a car to Kansas in a month. If you really want to make the race you'll do everything you can to get there.

I had the same problem a year or two back. (My truck dropped a tranny 3 days prior). All you have to do is a little of everything posted above. Rent a truck from Enterprice (Fullsize pref.) Go out and buy a bolt on hitch (around $100 ball park) Bolt it to the truck and hual your car. All trucks have a plug for a trailer hookup from the factory. And a heads up, most trucks use the flat 3 pin style hook up. Round plugs usally only come on trucks made to pull. A Regular full size truck from enterprise will be able to pull a car on a trailer. Just make sure to un-bolt the hitch before you take the truck back. And trust me it will work.

^ It can be done. It's just can be a lot of work. If you really want to go though you'll make it happen. Good luck with getting everything figured out.

Thanks for the tips. I just don't know about adding a hitch to a rented truck. I don't want to be responsible for the truck if something happens and they found out I was towing.
