Deploying the chute
Just wondering how many guys deploy their chute at the end of the run? I was racing in the dark last year and a guy packing his chute on the return road told me that when I hit my brakes, as I went past him, they were glowing red. I replaced the pads and turned the rotors once last year and decided to put on a new chute. I had a Diest and it was just too difficult for one guy to pack. I installed a Stroud Launcher this winter and plan to deploy it every 1/4 mile run this year. I go through the lights at about 175 MPH in a 240" dragster.
What speed do you hit and how often do you deploy the chute?
