It's a tracking device for recording lap times.

Seriously though....

All you "Higher Than Thou" spectators need to calm down.

You're the reason why people frown on Lexus people...

Live a little buddy, a tow hook is not hurting anyone.

With your, I'm comin' at you with razor blades and lemon juice. Rice...
I'm no spectator, I've logged plenty of lap times within a couple of sanctioning bodies to have seen dozens of guys like you roll through the paddock with your "dumped" car w/ carbon hood, rainbow bright brakes and your tow hook out to know that to people who are serious about putting down some good lap times, it is you sir that make people frown on Lexus owners who roll in thinking they are billy bad-a** with cosmetic bolt-ons doing parade laps and waiving to the stands, holding people up, etc...
sorry for kicking sand in your hootch, but if you decide to get serious about competing in track events you'll come to understand what I'm talking about, but for now, YOUR car and YOUR sig says it all, it's all about looking cool at stop lights and parking lot cruises (razor blades and lemon juice!).

First of all...
You make fun of the brakes, that you actually had on your track car.
Which was not a "Healthy criticism" nor constructive.
Second, if you were not such a "Bill Bad-As", you wouldn't have to make comments like that in the first place.
Third, the TOW hook is a required on, before you go on the track.
Fourth, I hight doubt I will be a "Roll Through" type of tracker.
fifth, the parade lap was a warm up lap.
Lastly, gotta love taking the "Parking lot Pimp" out on the track and driving it off the track....

Ok I am done, you can comment back, but I wont be mentioning it anymore.

Oh and for the record, Spectators, as in people who talk trash about other person's cars, without ever showing their own car or anything for that matter.

Thanks for the comments
