Well....bummer..

Ran in the rain.... and lost traction in the rain...
Found the guard rail in 4th at 90mph......at a 45 deg angle.

Any one selling a hood, two fenders, radiator and related
sundry items??...

Me? Not a scratch just a mangled ego.

Had to hurry so forgot to set up the camara, no in car video... worst part is now the sun came out...

Nothing ever exciting happened while racing when I had my camera on, it was only when I forgot to turn it on that anything happened. I started to think leaving it off was a good thing.

Sorry for your trouble and hope you get it back together soon.

Crap, have the original hood off my 2013 Boss 302S -- just a normal hood frankly( no vents ). Let me know if I can help?? Has the hood pin holes already in it, no damage, just tire clagg on it ( white ).

Pay for shipping and you can have it!
