No, I've never seen the timing slip.  but -- I'm pleased to say that both Nancy and I saw that run.  Like so many others -- it was something to see and to remember.

  Pork Pie, Is it normal for the chute to fly so high?

only if you want to cringe when you see the photos---I have been in a car that the chute kited and lifted the rear and pulled it side ways  was fortunate to  "steer into the slide" and stayed in front of it

Nope,

but so pictures helps the teams to fix the issue.....the Nish Streamliner had similar problems...and the #55 roadster was one with the twist behind the 5 mile marker....

Rob, with the engine change, will you guys still be on the salt in August?

[Freud]

Burkland had the same problem long ago.

They resolved it.

Educate me a little, please: what might cause the chute to "fly high"?

[7800ebs]

Contact Joe at DJ Safety..

He is the guy .. he worked close with Jim Diest

He knows his stuff..

Educate me a little, please: what might cause the chute to "fly high"?

Among the reasons are tether length, mounting point, type of chute (ribbon, tri-form or cross-form) and how the air comes off the car.  I'm sure there are others, but that is a good start for a list.
