Arrive and Drive Spec Miata

My friend just recently got his SCCA regional license and is trying to break into racing this season by running the Great Lakes regional schedule in Spec Miata. We are looking for an arrive and drive/weekend rental program for the entire 8 race season. We found a company in Beloit, Wisconsin (Advanced Autosports) which has a program like this but they seem to focus mainly on Central Division races. We also found another company (King Rat Motorsports) in Virginia but they focus on SouthEast Division races.

Are there any companies within the Great Lakes Division that offer similar packages that might be more willing to bring a car to all 8 events?

Thanks in advance!

as an update :

It appears Advanced Autosports won't come to the Great Lakes division races. Still haven't heard back from King Rat. We found another company on the web (Motorsports-Exchange) which we have also contacted.

As another option, are there any drivers who have a second car that they are willing to rent for these races or a driver who isn't racing this season/this class anymore and would be willing to rent their car out for the upcoming regional season? I've heard sometimes doing a personal rental is less expensive and more rewarding than renting from a business.

Check with AIM Tuning in

Check with AIM Tuning in Indianapolis (http://www.aimtuning.com/). They may have some cars for rent or know of somebody who's looking to share a car.
