Wade, do not rely on hood latches and hood pins to keep a 340/S hood on in racing conditions. The I-500 course was littered with 340/S hoods and pieces.

If you see pictures of mine you'll notice the hood pins removed and a bungee cord holding down the front. Of course the original pan/bumper allowed room for that, that the aluminum and newer bumper does not.

They weren't in the woods, they were in the rock hard ditches. Shoot, the woods were almost a pleasure and something I looked forward to for a "rest". Of course I didn't have my fear of trees then.................... :lol22:
