towing hooks

Postby robertq » Fri Jan 11, 2013 6:18 pm

If you are going to track your car make sure the tow hook on your car is strong enough to get your out of the gravel traps and the hole is big enough for the tow vehicle to get his hook in. I was a scrutineer for 17 years and this was a major problem. A number of cars had extra damage due to tow hook fails

Many of our forum sponsors sell tow hooks.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
