Question Tow Rings...

I'm assuming that's what they are, atleast originally...

I see them on the front of cars, more track cars than show cars, assuming it's more function than looks.

I'm pretty sure it's for towing/keeping tied down in a trailer, that or... something to tie down on the dyno... but I was just curious what are they really?...

[PS someone message me on how to size an avatar properly, everytime I do it it messes up the picture or is too big]
[I searched sizing avatars - nada]
[or if you're really cool, you could do it for me? haha... ]

for images use the image tags instead of html, so it would be [img]http://x2.putfile.com/1/3020070060.jpg[/img]

As for tow rings, the name really says it all. Especially handy if your on a track that is surrounded by grass and you fly off track and get stuck in some mud

They are on the chassis so that when you fly out of course they can pull your *** out. Unless you're a Civic and bolt it down on your fiberglass bumper...thats another story.
