All,
Stated in the same unofficial transcription of the rules, in the stock category:
13.2 B: Hood straps or fasteners may be added.
Then, the first rule of Street Prepared states:
14.1 A: All Allowable modifications permitted in Stock Category are allowed.
I agree with Josh Hadler's post: the removal of the stock latch isn't allowed if
it's not allowed. :-)
