How to Install a Proper Front Tow Hook for Racing

I just installed a really nice tow strap set-up on the front of my racecar. Write-up and install instructions can be found here:

Let me know if you have any questions/comments.

I would caution against this exact installation. Simply looping the strap around the crash beam like this will not prevent it from sliding side to side when towed. The tow truck will not care that only your plastic bumper is trying to keep the strap from moving when turning or towing from an angle. This strap will likely completely ruin your front bumper.

Digging this thread up from the dead, but has the OP actually been towed with this thing? it seems that anything other than a straight on tow will just rip the bumper apart...
