If you really want to go AAA sounds like the only good option. Or buy a new tow rig

If you're wanting to go as a spectator then just drive the burb, if you are wanting to go to compete then i'd say i would be looking for a tow rig. Around here if you need to be towed home it isn't cheap if you have any kind of distance to go.
thats why i was thinking of getting AAA plus...they will tow 100 miles free and then its .40 cents a mile afterwords (ive been told)...i dont really wanna go if i cant wheel...4X4HIGH said:
Before you go get AAA and think you're all covered you better go read the fine print. Before you can get the 100 mile tow you must have had AAA for at least a year. Also if the vehicle is not stock they won't tow it. Now i'm speaking of how it is in California maybe your state is different but i kinda doubt it.

Get a plan "B." You are not worried about getting there, just getting back, correct?
Find somebody to agree to get you back
Whether you put a tow bar on your vehicle or somebody with a tow rig comes to get you. It could be anybody in your area that's going or somebody who isn't but will agree to take the day to save your Azzz
Offer to pay for fuel & whatever you think is appropriate for cash. Is there a board for this event you could post on?
I've never gone to one but it seems to me this type of thing has to happen at events. Good way for a local with a rig to pick up some cash just by being there and wait for the inevitable

If you have a trailer, why not rent a tow rig? Around here there is a place called interstate truck rental, that rents 3500s. It is a division of capps truck rental. I got a 4x4 dually for 249.00 for a 3 day weekend.

CRAP! you beat me to it! my thoughts exactly! also, check with Enterprise rentals. I deal with them every day, they'll give you unlimited milage and "most" branches carry 1 ton trucks for construction companys, but don't really advertise them since they are in limited supply.
i was planning to drive mine up, but was hoping i could find a trailer just incase i do break something. however things arent looking good, and i might not be able to make it this year unless i can get some more money fast

YEAH! my last hobby cost me a house in the divorce!!!
You know your truck best, but I'd just drive it. I don't hesitate to drive mine 300miles+ to Blazer Bash.
