With an LSR chute, you can do that without scrubbing speed. It takes so
long to spring, bounce and then deploy that it won't make too much of a
difference.

Charles /// from that video you dropped the chute before the first photo eye ...

I pulled the Chute to soon (that is called  Pre-Mature-Chute -a Lation !!) LOL

The GPS read 166 when I pulled the Chute, but the timing slip showed 162.xxx

The next run I waited and pulled chute as drivers door passed the first photo cell and GPS read 175 and time slip read 175.250

With that chute I never hit the brakes and had to get back on the gas to make the turn.

STROUD  rocks,,. that Chute did it's job. !!!

Good practice with the chute, Charles.  Be advised that when you're running at Bonneville the tower will often send a compliment, over the CB for all to hear, when you deploy your chute correctly.  And if you mess up -- don't be surprised to hear that the tower has suggested that you and your crew get a friendly visit from Lee Kennedy or someone else - about how and when to toss out the laundry.

After you drop your chute, you drive away from it. The shroud lines must first fully deploy and then the canopy blossum. The issue is that most drivers back off the throttle when they release the chute and are just coasting from that point on. If you were to release just before the second light and then back off you would be under power in the timing traps and have a chute out and ready to blossum. Best practice. This opinion is from the undersigned. A US Army trained parachute rigger.

I pulled the chute a bit early for sure,,,I stayed in the gas until I felt it blossom, then I rolled out slowly.

I just saw the video, it looked text book other than the fact I pulled the chute 132 feet early.. The deplotment and blossom looked good, the chute stayed low and did not sky,,, I would say I have it set up just about right.

Charles ... Reviewing the videos on cars with chutes, Steve Van Blarcom was just about perfect. Dropped the chute right at the exit of the timing traps and backed off right there. Yours was dodge good and it really stabilized the car. Doesnt look like you lost speed as it blossumed after you exited. The videos are cool. We should get someone to video the whole event at the big end ... Joe

Thanks Joe,

I was concerned as I had not pulled a chute in over 20 years..I also was concerned about how it would deploy and such.  I am very pleased with the whole deal.  yes car was very stable with chute.

My first run was 153 with no chute car stopped quite well with the brakes but the rear did wiggle a bit slowong from 153 to about 120, then very straight, the run on the video was my 162.xxx run and pulling chute for the Video..

my other run was the 175.250 and I pulled the chute at the second photo cell and it hit a bit harder and was very comfortable how straight and stable it kept the car.

I can only guess the rear air from my spoiler and the chute like each other  LOL

See you in September at Maxton

Your car was perfect going thru the lites--nose was down. Cave must be thinking about the other black Stude-it was WAY out of shape twice (we could see the right side of the car from finish!!  :-o) to the point I was looking for an escape route! )

   sdwarf36,
 I had the gold firebird and yes, alot of frontend lift.  Did you get any topend videos of my car?  If so, could you point me in the right direction.  We made a couple of changes for the sunday run and it was a handling improvement.  It ran 164.768mph.  I want to stay in B/PRO next year so the rules limit any major aero changes.  I know some of you have some ideas that could help.  So, whatcha got?  I was too busy with the car to chitchat much at the race.  New car issues.

From what I have seen at the track and in the wind tunnel, you can reduce some front end lift by lowering the front and having some rake. If you are hooking up in the rear pretty good, you can lower your rear spoiler height and or angle.. that may reduce rear downforce and add some front,,, can you add a front air dam ?  These may not work at all and or they may help,, each setup is differant and some changes effect differant cars in differant ways.

Best thing if you are close is 2 to 3 hours in the wind tunnel.

 I'm thinking that scoop can't be helping any--maybe stiffer rear springs/shocks--hard telling if the front was lifting--or the rear was squatting..

I DID get the studes confused...  no, I was not hung over!

Its tough to read the lettering on the side of the cars at 170mph as they go by!  HA! :-D

Sdwarf- your 'bird was practically floating the front each run.  From the 1.25 mile position, it looked like it rode like a caddy, but it was wayyyyy nose high and floaty-lookin'.
