Has anyone installed a (removable) tow hook for being on the track to thier Caddys?

I had to get my CTS-V towed off track (Thunderhill) last week and had to hook the rope to the Monte-Carlo bar and my hood got bent to the tune of $1,600!! Plus my Monte-Carlo bar got bent.

I wont be back on the track until next February so I do have some time. BMW, Porsche and Audi all come with screw in tow hooks. I gues the Germans expect thier cars to be driven hard and GM is more interested in keeping costs down!

Thanks, Eric.

dunno what a monte-carlo bar is. They couldn't hook up to a control arm and be gentle??? I only know of one guy that installed a tow hook...it was removable..but there was still a giant hole in his front bumper...the only way I think you can do it to make it pretty still is making it so the hole is under the lip of where the lower fascia is....then having like a 90* bar with a hook on the end that would fit up in there...Ive never looked so I dunno if theres even anything to attach to in there and I dont know how you could make it stay up in there..like on a quick disconnect or something.

It ties the top of the strut towers together under the hood.


Nope!

Come on, I'm not the only person that takes their car to the track!

Thanks, Eric.

Just curious - why did you have to have it towed? Rear end problems?
