I have tried to borrow/rent a 2 car trailer in the past (and likely posted on this board). I spent extensive time looking and came up with practically nothing. The best I got was an offer from a Miata guy for something like $1,500 for a week's worth of use. That was a complete ripoff, and ended up skipping the event.

Please post if you find something.

Agree with the hauler (^), but for 2 cars, towing might be a significant savings (add airfare, car rental, etc). There is at least 1 2-car trailer owned by 2 people on this board, and another by two PCA people not on this board, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't loan them out. A very long trailer like that is much more likely to get damaged by an less experienced driver.

Considering George has driven a 2 car trailer many times before (including last year's trip to sebring) i would not consider him a less experienced driver......

Hopefully someone can help him....otherwise we may have to try and fill a second hauler haha..
