Stock hood configuration clarification

Crew Chief · 06-26-2019, 06:16 PM

Since the subject of stock hoods has been brought up, when did NHRA allow original hood latches to be removed and replaced with hood pins? I agree that a few cars came from the factory with only hood pins but not as many types as are showing up in Stock and S/S today.

The rulebook still says full stock hood including latches, hinges, springs, brackets, and braces as originally produced must be retained. Super Stock reads the same way.
