how's it work with a wrench! Does it take a long time?
Sugar on your tow eye?

When you put it on the trailer you will need a brush & dust pan only!

Your need to get it to the track and get it off the trailer before you worry about getting it back on

If you start now you will have nose off and on by seasons end! Bring it over I have a cut off saw and the nose will be on the ground in seconds!


OR we can just bolt one into your hood!


I'll be back at the track before you and that is sad!

We carry soft tow hooks that can be mounted anywhere that you can afford a 1/2 inch hole.

I didn't, Trackboss did. I just thought it was a great idea, and decided to sell them with him.
