[F500] Tire Straps - From Who?

[Brannon, Greg]

Chris,

This is how we tie our car down.

You can just cut some of the length out of the strap.

Good luck

Greg

Hi guys -

OK, I have Clint McMahans' autocross car, a battery, a gas can on order,
oil, mixing cup, chargers for both on-board and starter batteries,
jack-up stand.  I am buying a trailer tomorrow (Friday).  A Pace -
gorgeous trailer, one of the nicest I have seen (and I saw some beauties
in Peru this last weekend).  Polished stainless steel 3 feet up the
sides, beavertail, reduced height, and a ramp that makes nearly a flat
shot before you crank up the tongue, for just a bit more than a Home
Depot special.  On the lot!

So I figure that the EASIEST way to tow is to strap over the left rear
and front right tires.  I was at Great Northern today, and they had a
nice over-the-tire strap/net setup, with ratchet, but the darned thing
was six feet long.  Too big to fit over my tires, which I measure at 17"
diameter. 
Isn't it?

I have searched the internet, to no avail.  I ordered the gas can and
several other parts from Pegasus, but they have no such straps.

Any ideas where I can get them?  I _want_ to tow to the next event,
which is next weekend, here in Atlanta.  I will be gone Sat and Sun,
parents' 50th.

I want to drape the straps, then have recessed D-rings installed as
appropriate.

Thanks!
