Default Damn hood flew open

Well yesterday 9/10 i went to atlanta dragway and i only got 2 runs in.

The first run the slicks didnt hold....the patch i put on leaked air out so one side was 9psi while the other was 7psi. Didnt do well that run.

Second run...right when i shifted to 3rd gear, my hood flew open and smashed into my windshield. the hood is all F*&^ up and the windshield all smashed up and glass was all over me....

I dont know why the safty latch didnt keep the hood from flying up. maybe during the burn out the hood came up and then when i shifted to third the latch gave up.

time for a carbon fiber hood....anyone have one for cheap
