Was this an issue of not enough shut down area? or was the driver late on the chute release?
I know that Saturday there were a few cars that did not pop the chutes and used quite a bit of the shut down area.

It was not from having to short Of a shut down, I can promise you that..
Glad to see the driver after the rough ride was OK with only a small cut on the back of his left wrist.
I told him after i saw him in inspection that I was glad he was OK.
The shut down area is now 300 feet longer than when cars were running over 300 mph so a liner running barely over 200 mph should not have ANY problem stopping with proper chutes and chute deployment at nearly 100 mph slower.
He will be back and not only take the record he will receive the highly coveted El Mo "Dirty 2" hat as his reward.
