And 140's also no problem at the track, but I always felt uncomfortable not having the pins on, so when I order the VIS I'll install aerocatch latches or similar.
That is what I always told, on the street it should be fine though there are stories of people having problems. Though for the track and safety it is worth the look to jump over to hood pins for safety & security.
