I made my mount out of aluminum tube with threaded rod going though it. There is a loop with a bolt on the chassis for the chute to attach to.
5.53 @ 125 1/8th on the launch control..more left in her!

It is covered up by the bag once installed but you can still see it from the front of the car as you walk up on it if you look for it. At least I know it is there.

The tug on the bottom is for the pit vehicle tow bar.

Wrong picture of the push bar. I meant to attach this one from the side view.

That is nice too! I was wondering what the extra clevis was for but I know now.
Just watch where you mount the bar.. try to mount it on the CG of the car so its neutral otherwise it can lift the back of the car or the front when its dumped
