HPDE requires a hook be attached to the vehicle, so that when you have an off the recovery vehicles can focus on removing your beached ride. Thus getting the others back to driving. I leave mine installed instead of having to spend any additional time messing with hooks at each event.

I'll bet most of the hook guys would not know HPDE if it bit them

I can’t believe that simple OEM tow hook is over 125 bucks!

How do the daily driver, hook guys keep it from being stolen? Looks to inviting to a scum-bag thief to me!

Better solution - 2 T-hooks as below plus v-bridle
they mount the same hole as jacking pucks
