Hood pins should be an option if you want to run them. It is for safety.

Who would want to try and drive at 1000 foot when your hood pops up?

I remember a lot of S and SS cars back in the day with aftermarket pins for this very reason. The rulebook has always said "must retain factory hinges, latch, and hardware". Nothing ever said you couldn't add pins.:confused:

Do the Challenger Drag pack cars come from the factory with no hinges?

I agree

The roof damage is what really sucks. Getting the windsheild to fit along with the roof to look like it is suppose to is going to be a challenge. I never had any problems before but it only takes one time. It takes the fun out of it.
We have another car in stock I hope we don't have any problems with it. I don't like the teather idea. But I myself would rather have hood pins along with the factory latch than having collector teathers. I guess we will see what happens.

Wow..worse than I thought.
Seeing you're going to have to pull the headliner and the windshield anyway..I'd pull the back glass and splice in a roof from a donor car...Easier in the long run.

Great idea Mark, but you just don't find a donor car just everywhere. People think that first gen camaros are like gold.
