You can likely get a Ford Transit size van for $85 per day from Enterprise with unlimited miles. I used to rent them for trackdays, and saved on lodging by sleeping in a hammock in the van. If you factor in the cost of a motel room, you're really not paying much for the rental. You can run an extension cord from shore power at many tracks, and have lights and a laptop powered. Also, if you chat up the employees, they might even give you a free upgrade to a high roof model, which you can stand up in.
Just pick up two aluminum ramps (I bought mine off Amazon with 2-day shipping). Ramps will work for loading with the back of a normal Ford Transit.

the whole rent the van, buy ramp, and just sleep in the van is the idea I originally had. I didn't get a quote from enterprise though when I was looking around last night, was too sleepy, needed to go to bed.
I'm the one who has it all planned out for my next car - get another hatchback so my small self can sleep in the back on one of those huge memory foam dog beds
