Steve,
The toe hooks look great. But you might want to consider powder coating them red so they are more visible as tow hooks.

A couple of the orders that I have did request Safety Red, Orange or Yellow, so the next trip to the coaters I am having them coat them one of those colors.

Hey Steve,
Are you going to run any of the CenDiv Nationals this year?
We will be at Gingerman the end of April.
Tom
Tom, I don't think I'm going to make Gingerman (froze my butt off last time I went there in April). I will be at the two Blackhawk's and the two Road America's, plus the Regional at Road America the week before the Sprints and possibly the Chicken in August. It looks like the first run of hooks is spoken for, but my shop is doing the tooling to make a large quantity, so there will be many available then.

Steve,
I need to order a set of your tow hooks. I found that the standard front hooks won't let me take the front fenders off when I have the car in sport racer configuration.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but it beats starting a new one.
I don't want to use the tow straps through the roll hoop as I will have cameras there that will get trashed if I do. Besides I'd prefer an actual tow hook up front. I can't seem to find this Update 21 that is mentioned in OP.
What is the preferred solution? I may have a good part in hand (below), but I'd like to know more. I am happy with my rear tow hook setup; it's just the front I need to address.
What tow hook is this? Is it front? How/Where does it mount? Any photos of one installed?

Many of us have this. Was required when we had a pro series.

Works quite well except sometimes the shock cover can get scratched if being pulled up hill or with a tow vehicle low to the ground. A shop towel wrapped around the hook usually protects the plastic.

I have the same tow hook as Andrew , it works great. I think Kevin at Comprent makes them. I think if you check the GCR front and rear tow hooks are mandatory. I used to have the strap coming from the roll hoop but it interferedd with my helmet when getting pull towed.

Where can I find this GCR? I assume it's a rule book of some kind. I see it mentioned in the forums, but haven't seen a link. I tried the SCCA site (https://www.scca-e.com/), but didn't see it.

Nevermind, I googled it. General Competition Rules. Ohh boy this looks like a "fun" read. I give it 10 minutes until I am checking out my eyelids.

Look at scca.com, road racing, rules. Shows GCR. FE on page 287, or there about. I thought that the front tow hock was a mandatory spec part, but I do not see it in the FE rules.
