You just trying to hit the guy at the end of the track... lol. What do you think 20-30 ft in the air.
Hope it did not screw the hood up to bad.
Now the question.
Why did it come off?

im pretty sure it was the opening in the front letting to much air in, and no place to go. i will be repairing the hood, and blocking those holes

The only reason hoods smack windshields is that they're hinged at the back.
