ok guys I just got my new shiney light ass cf hood. I was wondering if it is legal to race at the track w/o hood pins? The latch on the hood is soooooo well secured. It has like a inch of thichness holding it on . The hood dosn't wobble flying down the freeway so it is hella secure. I just wasn't too sure about the track rules. ??? I HATE HOOD PINS . FUGLY. but I do understand the purpose. hehe . let me know what is up.

at the track i run on i don't think they would care. lots of poeple take their hoods off to run. i would think since its your money that would go flying off and break your car that it would be mostly up to you.

At the track I go at they don't care what kind of hood you have. all they do Is check your engine.

Wuzzup Jeremy. Remember me?

Yeah, Sac raceway doesn't care... they barely look under the hood.

alpha: lol, that sucks. Sac Raceway has yet to even notice that I spray. They just assume I'm near stock.

last time I went there, the tech guy noticed the microswitch.
he said I couldn't run with the n2o, but after a couple runs, I hooked everything back up.

I went to so cali speed way, I have a cf hood without pins, ( i agree fugly) and he didn't say nothing, But I hear you alpha, he said I couldn't squeeze without the vent tube exiting the car, so I said I would take it out, and never did.

My buddy with no hood pins races his CRX at PIR (portland, oregon) and they don't care.
In defense of hood pins, I dont think they are ugly, plus without mine my hood flexed and wobbeled. Now it doesn't move at all.
