It does have the factory safety latch so thatll do. The hood pins on a bolt-on are more of just a safety precaution. As for tech requirements for racing, I dont think they require pins for bolt on hoods. I'll be running a 4" cowl lift-off hood on my z28 so obviously i'll have the 4 hood pins like i had in the past on my Iroc just because I like the look and I dont mind removing the whole hood to work on the engine.

Correct me if Im wrong, but cant hood pins also prevent stress on the hood? Ive heard of people who bolt everything on and they get stress cracks where the latch would be?
