    Rule of the Day - Tow Hooks

    CCR Rule 15.12- Tow Eyes
    It is required that all race vehicles, except open-wheel (formula) cars, have at least two
    (2) easily accessible (and usable) tow eyes, or tow points; one (1) in front and one (1) in
    back. They must not protrude dangerously from the car or require manipulation of the
    bodywork and/or panels to access the tow eyes. They must be strong enough to
    support the weight of the car.
    If tow eyes or tow points are not available the towing
    crew will hook onto other things that may cause damage to the driver’s car. The tow
    crew and NASA will not be held liable for any damage. Note- “spec built” cars must
    comply with this rule (e.g. FFR)

    Alright...own up...everyone's tow hooks work as designed last weekend? Quite a few cars off in the heavy mud. Many folks never know if their tow hook is strong enough...until it's time to use it.
