WARNING: For CF Hood Owners

[Hotsauce]

If you're running a CF hood be sure to have proper hood pins installed and use them. A WRX owner who has competed at the rallycross recently had his CF hood latch fail at 70 MPH. Other than glass in his eyes (ouch!) there weren't any injuries, but the WRX suffered some nasty body damage.

He should never have passed tech without hood pins.

Not required for rallycross, only street-prep and a DOT helmet are required as it's entry level. The failure, however, happened on normal highway driving. It would've been a lot better for him and the car had it happened at a rallycross though, as the speeds are kept at 45 MPH or less by a technical course.
