(Not sure if this is the right spot to post?)

For those who trailer your car to the track, etc. where do you attach?

Having a hard time finding good spots on the front that I can reach while sitting on/in a trailer.

And the back...is it okay to attach to something on the subframe? Or should I look strictly for a frame point?

Thanks for any input. :)

Attach to the axle in the rear and you can also use the tires as a tie down point. I know some will say it's bad for suspension bushings and wheel bearings but be prudent and don't tighten it down like a gorilla and you'll be fine :) Other options up front are the swing arms or maybe if you have an amazing tow hook install you fully trust but I wouldn't go that route.
 
On the front I found some perfect holes I could reach in the front of the K member...at least til I put a tubular K in.

On the back , in the subframe to each side of the diff are holes easy to reach while on a trailer.

A little hard to see in the pics...
