Islandmon Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I hope someone here snapped a picture as I was coming out of Turn 4 and the hood pins failed. Lucky for me I was past the entrance to Pit Row and not in a lot of traffic so I knew I had a good shot of slowing the car down and bringing her across the grass to Pit Row. I bunch of my fellow Chumps came out to help and pushed the hood back down so I could limp to the garage. I have the Go Pro video from inside and would also like to see a picture from outside the car if there is one. Thanks to all Chumps for a great event on Sunday!

Justin9 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was the suited driver that tried to beat your hood back down... I hope you guys didn't care about the hood much, because it seemed trashed at the time... I figured you would like to see where you were going...

Justin: No problem about the piece of metal that was my hood. More concerned about your fist/hand. Thanks for helping in a time of need. I could not see anything except out of the drivers side window and I know if I drove towards pit row, some fellow chumps would help me out. Thanks again ... your "jump in and help spirit" are one of the main reasons I love to race Chump! if you are coming to Charlotte or Sebring, I owe you a cold beverage! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theamsoilguy Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 No pics for you, we lost our hood. I noticed the corner lifting and told the radio man ( who obviously wasnt spotting ) to call the car in, 180KPH and it let go that lap and took out the windshield. Our driver could see through the vent we made in front of the turbo so he limped back with the hood wrapper over the windshield. But I feel for you, sucks as it shouldnt happen.
