[QUOTE="SCALECRAFT, post: 15665638, member: 161806"] With all due respect.......... Track safety and liability is paramount for us weekend racers. Not all of us just watch racing. Some of us do it. Some good, some not as good. But still our cars should be at 100%. And I watch a lot of racing too. F1, Moto GP. My 2014 Gt 500 at 160 mph on a track has zero hood flutter. This is what I am comparing my friends 350 hood flutter to at 130. The hood flutter also puts additional stress on the front latch. Imagine that failing. Also, the concern is flutter causing metal fatigue at the hood hinges after repeated use. Again, the hoods are aluminum. Track use will find the weak link pretty quick and violently if neglected. Not a comparison to composite race cars components. Or the latches/pins/straps those dedicated to track use cars have to secure panels,hoods, lids, windshields, ect..... [/QUOTE]
