They will be used on a sprint car and possibly a full steel road race car. There's some serious cheap garbage out there as well as some overpriced stuff. What do you guys use when dragging your race car around? We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon

Kevin I use those also. I don't like that they are so stiff. I use them up front with the military ones out back on my open trailer. If I had a choice I'd try and get another set of military ones.

I've used the Summit tie downs and didn't like the stretch I was getting. Took them to a local truck place that makes them to have them rewebbed. They replaced this hardware... The new hardware didn't have the sharp edges.
