Default Looking for last minute tow vehicle where to rent one or will pay expenses

My tow vehicle is down and I am signed up to race.

If you have a tow vehicle and want to come to the races. I have you covered on expenses. I am hoping that you might also crew for me.

Or where can I rent a truck to pull a Tailex trailer and 2400lbs car.

Would a basic pickup truck rental, from Budget, Hertz, etc. be an option?

I have called a few and finding one with a tow hitch and brake controller in stock is proving the issue.

uHaul = No brake controller
Penske = 99/day + 0.99/mile = $1k (non-starter)

Uhaul might be able to able to rent you a truck and car trailer. Saw some of the drift folks at hyperfest with them.

Budget Car Rental is also a good option. Budget will only rent a car trailer if you also rent the tow vehicle. Unfortunately, doesn't come with a pit crew!
