When things happen at 100+ mph they happen fast. The hood was flat black and this happened right at the stripe at night. I NEVER saw the hood fly up. It doubled so far back that I couldn't see it at first,it wasnt this far down the windshield until half way down the return road. All i heard was a super loud BANG then my eyes were full of crud. Surface rust from the underside of the roof. I forced my eyes to stay open until i could get stopped. I still had no idea what the sound was or what had happened. I just mashed the kill switch when I heard it. I thought the motor had blew on me. Once I saw what it was I was so happy that it wasn't the motor that I didn't even care about the sheet metal. Everyone was surprised how well I took it. It looked so funny I couldn't help but to laugh! But I did get upset when I found out it snapped the wing off of my hood ornament :cry:
