Dont like polluting the thread. But this was a photo taken from a 1km event a few years ago. Not sure where the photographer was, but would guess this is around the 150-160mph mark.
I did around 175mph that day, although their timing gear registered 186mph for some reason.

When doing silly things in the dark, I can easily see the headlights from the drivers seat the hood lifts and flexes that much !
I'm amazed it stayed on so long to be honest.
The photo only shows a still obviously, but the bonnet is lifting and flexing quite violently, it isnt just sitting static like in the photo.
