To allow them to drift legally according to DOT regulations. Wrong section by the way. ---

Wrong section. BUT my guess is that they take off the hood because when they run into a barrier or stack of tires, it’s one less part they have to pay to replace. ---

It’s more because stock cooling systems get pretty strained when you’re in high-load, high-rpm conditions, at a low speed. Better to lose some body panels than cook a motor! ---
