<< To All on the List,
Next year I'll have to run a parachute and I have two Questions:
1) Does the chute move the car around when it is opened and if so what do
you do about it ?
2) How much drag does it apply upon opening, is it dramatic or is it just
noticable ?
Thanks for your help, Scott

Scott,
On my Modified Roadster, with the chute attach point a little over 12"
above the ground:
(1) no
(2) It's a dramatic but not painful decelleration, losing 80-100MPH in a
matter of a couple of seconds, I would guess.............Ardun Doug King,
