469 SIR


Racer X 69

<p>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;My last novice race. Notice the hood. Looks like a tiny parachute. I had removed all of the support structure for the hood, leaving only the skin.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;<br />

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;<br />

Four hood pins was not enough. Though the airflow was going to tear it off the car. I even had half the grille opening blocked off with a piece of lexan. So I added another hood pin in the center of the back edge, a small aluminum angle reinforcement (about 8&amp;amp;quot; long) on either side in the middle, and a strip along the center of the leading edge.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;<br />

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;<br />

Fixed it right up.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;<br />

&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;<br />

Everyone though I had a fiberglass hood because I unpinned and then lifted it off. No hood hinges. They weigh too much.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</p>
