Is there any way of fixing this?
OK, don't we have hood latches for additional security?

With your plans in perspective, you might be right to make this sure first since there are no OEM related solutions that I am aware of.

This car is not designed/intended as a (very) high speed weapon on straights, that's for sure, just sayin.
