TEXAS MILE OCT 2010 Thread: Official updates, etc.
great runs. you sure make it look easy.
A chute? No, my car is 100% EXACTLY the way it is when I drive it around on the streets (no tape, chutes, same tires etc.). Honestly I don't think chutes are needed for cars at the Mile unless they are doing 250+ excluding the Supras considering the brakes on the cars.
Jonah did 9-10 239+ mph runs on his 2 Gallardos and never used the chute.

thanks for the link. Digital downloads are $60 EACH!
maybe that's a typo on the site?? I don't know who the owner is here on 6speed. Maybe someone confirm/let him know what it shows as the cost for a download.
FWIW I am ordering a few prints.

My reason for asking was it seems a lot of cars are having issues when they deploy the chute...it seems if the car has proper brakes, you could just them to slow it, and use the chute as a back up?
Just thinking out loud here.
