WTBorrow: Flatbed for MAP Proving Grounds

I have a truck to tow with, but wondering if anyone isn't going that has a flatbed trailer I could use for the weekend. I'm going to be a panzy and trailer the car if I go since last year I broke an axle at this event and it wasn't fun trying to figure out how I was going to get home.

I'm willing to pay "rent" to use it for the weekend. Just seeing if anyone has anything before I rent one from U'Haul or something.

U-haul is cheaper but I wonder if the u-hauls work well for low profile vehicles? The ramps on this one look nice.

Good point. For a 3-day weekend it'd work out better. I'd like to buy something like that some day but I'd want a winch on it.

Yeah the U-Haul car trailers are like $58 dollars a day, they are actually nice ass trailer though, they have electronically assisted brakes and they are heavy duty as hell. You would definitely need a truck or at least a Tahoe sized vehicle to tow one though.

Yeah, I don't know if the Envoy's suspension is up to towing an 18ft trailer w/car.

Envoy is rated to tow 5500lbs and will be doing the towing. It tows the boat which is a similar weight.

Brandon, give me a call. I may not be racing next weekend due to me losing my job .

I have a crew cab chevy truck and 20' fully enclosed racing trailer. I still plan on going Friday Saturday and Sunday.
