Summit Point Requiring Rear Recovery Tow Hooks
Hi Folks,
The days are getting warmer, my summer tires are itching to get back on a track! Definitely hitting Summit Point again. Buuuut they require a rear tow hook at intermediate & above... Anybody found a decent place/way to attach one? Anybody work at Summit Point who might be able to help with some guidance regarding this requirement? Will a pull-rope work? Does either have to be secured into any specific part of the body? Frame or something? Still sorta new to racing, but in love so far & very excited for the coming season! Thanks in advance to all for any insight! |

I have been driving my Camaro there for almost 5 years and ive never heard this. What I do here is if you dont have one we are gonna hook to whatever we can get to.
Is this in a set of rules somewhere? To answer your question the only one ive seen you cut a hole in the bumper behind the license plate. |

most places only require front tow hooks and thank god you will never have to use it but if you have to use a rear you will have to drill a hole in the rear bumper or plate area

Having discussed the issue with them, they understood that our cars don't come with a pre-set rear tow hook or option for it. For that reason and to avoid any safety issues from folks jerry rigging the darn thing - they told me I'm fine just having the front tow hook.
