Looks track worthy Bro. Spill the beans on your wheel / tire set-up as well as suspension if you would

Wild looking RS for sure

Peace

Tow hook at that spot? o_O
So if your car needs to be yanked out of a sand trap, they'll bend your frame? Or how does that work?

lol... it is a VERY strong point on the car, so i have NO worries it will bend my frame.. there are plenty of track cars that use that as a tow point.. and it isnt my 1st tow point.. if my car isnt mangled, then it will be towed by the factory tow points.. but if the car is too damaged for that, then it will be towed there

lol... why would it hurt my hood?? if it has to get towed from there, you simply pop your hood, and then tow away.. a tow strap will never be on my hood lol.. and as previously stated, its a smart insurance policy... if you nose dive off the track and damage your front end, odds are, your tow hook out front will be damaged/mangled too... but it would take a catastrophy for that tow hook to be rendered useless..


BUT, in any case, the plan is to never HAVE to use it
