In the event of a parts breakage that requires the track officials to pull your car, what are you guys with Callos front ends doing? The tow hooks on my traction bar hang way above my front end so pull it by them is sure to damage the front end. Just wanted to see what everyone else has done.

 

I did a cool one that came off some holes in the front of the car and had a ball lock pin to hold the hook in so it could come on and off with the tow strap.

Oh, I do know this may not help your problem specifically but it may spark some ideas.

 

I just make sure I dont break! no really though it has been on my mind Rots thats a good idea!

 

Ryans worked really well for the season, i was the one hooking and unhooking that thing and it made things super easy..

Well with the Callos 3pc front end ryans idea can be used it would just have to be modified to fit.

Depends on the setup, you would have to see what areas you can connect something to that can you can attach a mount.

Lets see other ideas!

 

check this thread. pretty neat idea for front tow hook.

Or if you guys wanted to, do it HR style and come out of the hood/cowl or top of the A-pillar with a Ball lock pin.

 

I have been using one of rota's tow hooks and it worked great but not sure how to use it with the new front end.

 

Can you attach the cup for Ryan's hook long the bottom of the front radiator support ?

It's less then 3/4" thick.

Another thought was put it on top of the radiator support and just open the hood, plug in the tow hook, when it needed to be towed.

You could weld a receiver bushing into the support.

 

I dont trust my core support for pulling the car. Definitly need something that attaches to the traction bar or something hot rod style. Just want to see what others have done already.

 

I agree with you on that. The plate rota made for that mount it pretty thick steel and it bolts in three places and that actually started bending the metal on the car from being towed.

 

we still use the stock tow hook to pull the car. ours hangs low enough.

 

im sure we can just make something when you bring the car down ben

 

Do it how some of the hot rods cars did it. We actually drilled the upper corner of the roof and attached the tow hook assy to the rollcage. I think we got the part from jerrybickel.com
search tow hook on their site and it will come up.

 

i just drive the car lol

yeahhh since you dont have to fix it punk... i do!!!

 

Yea you can get something like that not only from Bickel but Quartermax, VP etc. all of them their own style. Some are cooler than others but it's all the same concept.

 

do you happen to have some pics of that setup? Thanks/salamat.

 

Vanishing Point Racecars Tow hook kit
http://www.vpracecars.com/productView.asp?productID=532

these kits use a quick pin and a specially machined reciever for it, so it does not "pop out" when getting tugged on.

 

why not do a cloth one that hangs out the front bumper like TONS of roadrace guys do?

 

Cloth isn't drag racer approved Plus, when you say cloth tow hook to a drag racer you'll have all the idiots tying T-shirts to their cars.

I'll be using the Vanishing Point setup on my car, it's super cheap

 

i use the traction bar plates that bolt between the frame rails

 

how is it mounted?
