I still woulda kicked my friends A$$. Thats crazy. Can't believe someone would be that careless.... Ive opened the hood of my friends rx-7 and I double check, even tripple check his pins before I walk away for that reason. I would be irate. lol. At least the wheels are fine.

That sux.

My buddy's hood flew up at the track. he managed the finish the 1/4 mile and ran i believe a 20 second quarter. Lucky all it messed up was the hood and the spring came off the hinge on the passenger hood. Oddly enough he already had a cowl hood in the garage waiting to go on the truck.

same thing happened to me on my 87 camaro with a 500$ fiberglass cowl hood. i bought the locking hood pins in the front and of course they twisted unlocked and the hood flew up and smached the windshield. oh and this was a lift off hood, didnt have hindges so it flew off the car.

scary stuff
