on a 3000lb. outlaw 10.5 car say going low sevens at 198mph would a single 12ft. 200mph simpsom chute do the job or would dual chutes be the way to go. thanks for any input

2006 IHRA rule book on page 128 states:

"Car running 200 mph in the 1/4 mile must have two parchutes with one release handle. Drag chutes must have their own independent mounting bracket(a grade 8 sleeved bolt must be used) and must not be the same bracket as the shoulder harness."

Can't imagine hooking up the chute to the shoulder harness but that's what it says.

Hope that helps. :D
