That's the tow loop that is in your tool kit in the trunk. You have that cap in the front and the back where it screws into the car. You can then wench the car into a trailer in my case. You'll notice the Noble is on a lift which is raised during transit with the E down below.

That's not the half of it. The first time I met Derek save for the website, was the night I blew up the differential in my car at that same track, and he offered me a ride back to Tallahassee, an hour and half away. We had never met in person and this guy was going to let me sit in his E and watch Family Guy DVDs all the way home. If you didn't know better, you'd never think Derek was the type of person to show up at a dragstrip with an assorment of hundred thousand dollar vehicles.

Derek's run was amazing. Here are a couple more pics I took from the track day. I have a ton more, but I have to dig through them.

Damn that M5 looks pissed off. Thats what i do love about the styling of the E60 as opposed to the W211. Do you have the last pic in High res?
