LH thread is about 50% of cars the others are right hand thread ;) I get to find them all the time as I work doing recoverys. If you can not found one then get one of theses http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Winching-Assistance-Straps-Webbing-Winch-Brother_W0QQitemZ230320966359QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Trailers_Transporters_Parts?hash=item35a0330ad7 works a treat and spreads the loading.
But why can't they make then all the same size and same thread? Even people like ford do not use the same across the range.

Re track days. All the ones I have ever done tell you to fit your tow eye before you go out, and the paddock marshal should check this too ( Book a track, Lotus on track do)
There is NO WAY on gods earth I would let someone recover my Elise (or any other car I owned) round the wishbone, unless it was knackered totally already and seriously in the way. Ideally any serious track day car should have rear recovery points, but thats surprisingly difficult (Specially on the Elise)
I agree mind you, that motor cos dont make it easy to fit or even find em.
