I just looked in the PCA club racing rulebook. For what it's worth, under the "Safety" section, paragraph 23 states:

"All cars must have a tow hook, strap, or other suitable device in both the front and rear."

Since the word "Strap" is mentioned, I assume the safety belt towing strap proposal would be acceptable. As long as any of the towing devises are appropriately marked with the familiar tow hook decal, it will enable the track workers to easily identify the strap. In my case, I will mount the tow decals to magnetic material so that they can be more easily installed and removed.

Another reason I like the strap idea is that it can be tucked in behind the bumper when I'm not at the track.
