Default Where can I rent a car for autocross?
My husband and I need a car to autocross on October 2nd while the wonderful Sloan at SSI puts our Cayman back in order. Thinking a Miata would be perfect, but where can you rent one? The only place that I've found that might be an option is http://rpperformanceracing.com/.

Any ideas?

I have a slightly un-used boxster in my garage on that day. Make an offer?

Call Bret DePedro at RP Performance, he's located at Summit Point on Gasoline Alley. He does Miata rentals.

Enterprise's exotic rental group has 911s (Carrera S) in DC and I think out at Dulles.

I think Jim's rental options should include: http://www.driveatank.com/5-star/

You, on the other hand, I think you should step up and get your own car now! I can see you in either:

or:

I'm with you, unless they are 'driving' the metro with the Cayman in the shop. Doesn't really matter what you auto-x....so why not your DD.

Thanks for the name. I've emailed them. Summit Point isn't the best location for a Bowie AX; and if they charge what they charge for track rental, I may just run the AX for BikePump so he can have fun ALL day.
