More and more sanctioning bodies are requiring the use of tow hook (including SCCA, NASA, and various drifting events)
Get your cars ready! taken directly from SCCA club racing rule book "9.3.47. TOWING EYES All cars without an exposed roll bar shall have a towing eye or strap, front and rear that does not dangerously protrude from the bodywork when the car is racing, to be used for flat‑towing or hauling the vehicle. A removable towing eye carried inside the car is not acceptable, except in formula cars and sports racers. These towing eyes or straps shall be easily accessible without removal or manipulation of bodywork or other panels. Towing eye minimum ID two (2) inches. The required tow eyes must be strong enough to tow the car from a hazard such as a gravel trap. Front tow eye may be mounted in the driver / passenger side window openings, or any location forward of the windshield. If mounted in the driver/passenger side window openings, it must be attached to the forward roll cage down tube as close to the base of the windshield as possible. If the front tow eye is located in the side window openings there shall be one on each side of the car. Rear tow eyes must be accessible rearward of the rear axle centerline. In addition, if the main hoop of formula and sports racing cars is faired in and there is no other means for a wrecker to lift the car without removal of any bodywork or the fairing, the fairing shall have access holes to allow the insertion of a bar or strap to allow the car to be lifted by a wrecker." |
