Actually the "corkscrew" tie downs made from spring steel work very
well. They came from Sporty's as well. I have three and have used a
three foot piece of pipe to get them in and out (Thanks Cy)

They held is some pretty stong winds.

Right. Just don't think that all corkscrews are created equal. The
hardware store, or dog steaks, "will" twist off at OSH. They have to be
spring steel.

seen:

I bought my CLAW at OSH 93... I love it. I have added nylon
strap/buckle/hooks for the tie downs instead of the rope and have been
very happy with it.
