You used NOS and blew the scoop apart.

Owwww! I feel your pain!
I thought the hoods were one-piece.
Any ET improvements during testing before it happened as some consolation?

This was the first pass since the Gators so I really don't know any more than when I got there..... Except my pocketbook will be lighter when I get it all repaired....

Tom Gaynors DP did the same thing @ Pamona.

WOW Mack! Did it just fly off at speed? I also thought the hoods were one piece. The scoop looks like it was glued on! Any other damage to the paint any where else? Jim

I know that David Workman (New Hemi) had the same problem I think it was in Vegas...

Jim,
Check out the link Mack has in the first post. Shows the rest of the damage.

So, based on percentages, will Chrysler issue a recall or at least a TSB???

Mack, I had a similar problem.....it got repaired, reinforced, painted again(3rd time for the hood I think)......which I thought was going to be the risk-free black hood thing instead of painted like yours.....NOT!

Now we know why the 2011 are a stock aluminum hood.....too bad they didn't do the DP with a real hood with a metal hood scoop and gasp hood hinges!

The wind risk when the hood is on the roof is stressful.

Good luck

Eric

Thanks Eric.... Plan to get in touch with my painter on Tuesday and see what his schedule is... I also voiced my opinion on these hoods before mine even got on the track...

So will get it fixed and hopefully right this time.......

I would love to have a stock hood with the hinges and all..... But we play the hand we have..

It sure is, but there is no guarantee that the loaner will run the index.

The loaner is probably a new Dart.Or maybe one of those Fiat 500 tuna cans.

The 08 Cobra Jet that I drive lost it's scoop (ironically at Orlando) going thru the finish line and yes, it bounced off of the roof and put a nice little dent in it. Thats why it now has a non painted scoop on it now. We got the replacement and didn't even bother painting it. Just bolted it on

...you would think the Chrysler engineers that designed the Drag Pak hood would not take the cheap way out when designing it...the old Challenger T/A hood was a one piece deal and the Shaker hood bubbles used on the old Challenger & Cudas were fiberglass units bolted together using threaded studs & nuts...or like the fake side scoops used on the other B-body Chargers, Superbees & Road Runners etc from back then..

My 08 CJ did the same thing at Orlando (ford sent me a new upgraded one under warranty)

Mack, come by my pit area, we got gum, thumb tacks, string, some paper clips, a clothes pin, and some Elmer's glue. We can have her fixed in no time.

Ron Ortiz
U/SA I knew that stuff would come in handy.

I met a guy a few years ago that had a new Z06 'Vette. He took it to around 180 through Texas and the front header panel of the roof delaminated. He drove to Arizona with duct tape holding it all together!
