Congrats to Big Jim.
And to Charlie Jr on the .38. Good air or not, thats quick. Have to agree with Ben on Charlie.

As for chutes. Read the rulebook. Not required in SS or S. Page 75 under General Regs-parachutes states "If outlined in Class Requirements,". It is not mentioned in S or SS class requirements. It is called out for Comp, SG and SC and ET bracket cars. As for the ET chart in the back saying 9.99 or quicker or 150mph+ that chart also states that the chart does not supersede the rulebook. It is only a quick reference guide and it directs you to the correct section in the rulebook. My guess is NHRA will require them soon.
