What happens when your car hood rips off at more than 100 mph?

Dan Cooke in my brother Bruce's 1971 Dodge Charger at Island Dragway in Great Meadows, New Jersey.

  • I'm taking it you weren't running any hood pins?

  • no - it snapped the pins clean off! - see previous comments and info

  • 0:58 LOL the hood just kept flying, and flying, and flying, and almost hit the other car LOL 1:00 and still didn't want to land, but just kept going. And I wonder if it ever landed or if it got caught in some trees?

  • It did land on the track (you can barely see it in the video). When it finally settled down we were well past the point where it had flown off. One of the track crew was able to grab it off the dragstrip and return it to me by the time we made the loop back to the timing shack.

  • Did it come off clean, or did it break your windhsield?

  • lifted up clean like an airplane wing - was pretty freaky to see it just take off!

    My son's Charger had the hood come flying open at about 40mph, we were very lucky that it didn't bend the mint steel hump hood at all :)

    (Forgot the hood pins, and the latch was removed)
