I wish I had remembered this thread and printed it out before the East Coast Drag Times Reunion. Many of the historic cars, drivers and builders were there and I could have gotten some first hand opinions. I have heard all kinds of discussion about the steel hood with hinges, aluminum hoods with or without hinges and the troublesome fiberglass hood with a scoop.

Give up a couple of mopar secret I heard. Certains Mopar team would not park their car beside another similar car. NHRA didn't measure cars however, if you parked beside one the problem would be obvious.

Bolt at the bottom of the fender and a wrench in the car. Fenders were acid dipped so thin the fender would work loose during the run and had to be put back in position after each run.
