Hood pins in stock
It sure would be nice if the high sheriffs in the NHRA would let old stocker have hood pins as a safety precaution.

Re: Hood pins in stock
I had hood pins on a Stocker as far back as 1971 and received no comment from tech. And, those were the days when you might be sent to the reject line because of a missing piece of trim on the dash or the location of the interior door locks.

Re: Hood pins in stock
I was told by Division 5 that if it didn't have pins from the factory I could not have pins. I guess I should not of asked and just done it. I just didn't want to have two holes in the hood when they said NO. I don't see why it would be a problem after all we are all about safety. I am curious what Travis has to say about this.

Re: Hood pins in stock
If they are not a performance advantage and 100% for safety reasons they should be legal.

Re: Hood pins in stock
Rex,
How bad is the damage to the roof? That is very sad too see. I do not recall seeing Stinnet, or others with the same vintage cars with hood pins. Maybe some additional latching is in place on their cars. It may be worth asking. It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Good luck Sean
