Yikes!

That would have left a brown stain on my seat for sure.      

I now don't regret putting hood pins on my car.

Opps, I bet that left some skid marks in his shorts.

Looks like it wasn't too far away from that truck.  I was riding with a buddy of mine & he had his hood fly up on his 65 Ford truck. We made it to the shoulder & we had to check for skid marks & not from the tires!!  For a fix, he used a reneck hood pin, called a hasp and padlock!!

I know of a guy that has gone through two fiberglass six pack hoods on his 69 Roadrunner cause he forgot to use the pins that are already there!

Ditto for a friend of mine in his 69.5 6 Pack Super Bee!  Not too much damage thankfully!!!  He just remembers driving down the street then seeing his hood fly over the roof!

That almost happened to me once in my race car.  I remember them right before I got into the burnout box.  That never happened again.
