If they don't have them, check http://www.safequipracingproducts.com. I think they are about 20 bucks.

Got mine from rennenmetal.com

Metal ring end is useful. If the strap drags for any reason, it doesn't rip up the strap webbing. Also easier for the tow folks to hook to it quickly.

I wish I had a pic of the one I saw at the track last time.

A guy has tubing behind the bumper fascias and wrapped them with thick old tie-down with a bolt through it. Just cut a small hole for the strap in the bumper. Very grassroots! Not at all like the mega buck prep of the rest of the car.

Not a suggestion, just sharing.

Im running a Turner Motorsports tow strap. I chose it because the strap is larger then the IO Port strap.

Here's how I installed it, the bolts are all grade 8, and the metal that's bolted to the car is 2 pieces of 1/8" X 1" steel

I made mine in about 15 minutes from about $3 worth of stuff from Home Depot.
