Which tie down straps do you use? - 12/15/11 07:07 AM

I'm looking for a good set of axle straps to tie down a race car. 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?

I use four military grade five thousand lb straps, one on each corner

Make sure the tie down holddowns in the floor are as capable as the tie down straps for the car are

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'd look around and see if there are any businesses near you that sells truck tie downs. 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.

The real deal. Accept no substitutes.

I bought from RJay's several years ago and have been very pleased with their product. Trailered my Dart from Texas to Kansas and numerous local tows...never a problem.

Mac's here too, plus another set of yellow straps from HomeDepto
for cargo hauling, but most of mine is hauling high end Lexas and
Infinities, plus my Duster once in a while.
