Tow Hook

Anyone using a particular type of tow strap for the M2? I have seen several and none state they are specific for the M2. Don't want to order and find out it won't clear fender.

Mine is a folding hook, not a strap. Zl1addons.com made it for me. You'll find most corvettes and camaros using these at your events. Good guy, quality stuff.

In my case, I was looking and noticed he had Bmw ones on his site...ordered one but it didn't fit. He ended up making one custom for me...as I mentioned, good guy.

So, if you want one, just give him a call and tell him you have a M2 and dude on a forum said you just worked out the size custom. He should remember.

Good point, didn't consider those who trailer. But I've not yet encountered a track day org that requires them.

I guess if it was just for a single task I would use the hook that came with the car, but if an org required me to use one all day, would invest in a strap type.

I used mine when I ran out of gas on the track before I figured out how thirsty the car was on track! Had to be towed in.

I used my tow hook to get pulled out of a snow bank during some winter ice racing in upstate NY.
