I remember a few years ago, the Mike Cook roadster had two side by side
chutes, and they "framed" them in with a box which extended about 10" out from
the trunk. The top of this box, in effect, created a wing on the deck, which
is not legal on a roadster. They did this for a year or two, and I guess
somebody made them remove it. Jerry in Dallas

About 18 or 20 years ago didn't the Benham-Piner modified roadster loose a
record due to chutes? Don't remember if it was placement, number, shape or
whatever.
But then again I could be comletely wrong and my memory whacko.
