I can't believe the tie-down hooks are still in place!

I believed they're required by the SM class rules.

It occurs to me that you could be joking. If you are, it's funny. If not,
it's still funny.

OK, I downloaded the SCCA GCR from
http://www.scca.org/Club/Index.asp?IdS=009784-2E22900&x=030|057&~=

From the Spec Miata section:

"Towing eyes per GCR Section 17.31 are required. Stock towing eyes may
be modified, replaced, or removed but may serve no other purpose."

GCR Section 17.31 says towing eyes must have a minimum ID of 2 inches.

So, the OEM tiedowns are not required if they're replaced with other
approved towing eyes. Happy now? :-)

Actually, I read that as saying that you're more than welcome to remove them
if you like.

What's important is, you can't use them as a paperweight or anything.

How can they be required but you are allowed to remove them??

Since the stock towing eyes weigh a ton, I would think everyone
would "modify" them to be of balsa wood.

Does it mention anything about balsa wood?

This is too stupid to argue about. You might want to read the GCR
yourself before posting more silliness.
