It should be perfectly safe, just try to avoid any rain or debris.

I would removed the brake and battery cover panels before you make a 70 mile drive with no hood. Other than that, completely legal.

Might be confused as a redneck, or worse you. might be a redneck if keeping it off starts appealing to you.

if you do, you won't have to work about overheating problems. Your engine bay will be well vented
