Are there any restrictions on types of hoods that you can use when competing in autocross events or HPDEs. Specifically, are carbon fiber or fiberglass hoods allowed in competition or do you have to have a factory hood with a crumple zone? Thanks.

 

HPDE's - no restrictions as long as its safe.

Autocross - depends on what class you're in. Most events have a rulebooks on hand for you to look at.

 

A Replacement Hood is allowed in street modified or street prepared according to this cross-reference: http://www.sff.net/people/dbur...e.htm
