I’m building my first drag car for a customer to do TX2K in 2024. First go around with a parachute so your video was extremely helpful, thank you. Love seeing videos that get down to business without the fluff.

Thank you !! I've watched a few of these, and I think yours is the best. Sad to say, I have watched this being done and really didn't pay attention. Since about 1970. I now have my own car that actually needs one. Also , I like the confidence of your son. Good job!

The Simpson instruction say your pack flaps need to be threaded bottom,top, left, right. Makes it a little easier doing it by yourself. ✌️

I’ve always found going from the top to the bottom first, then going from left to right heaps easier while working on your own, but everyone has their own methods

Thanks so much for the video! Very good explanation, I was struggling cause the cord that came with it was too short, just like you said. Fun fact: I am watching this and packing it also on Christmas. So merry Christmas from Germany 🇩🇪

Very informative, way more info than I was needing and I appreciate that. This is the first of your videos that I’ve seen because I was searching dragster parachute operation because I’m planning on mounting one one a Minibike. Just for fun but I want it to work. Sweet ride btw I also own a ‘64 Comet.

No not at all they’re track built . You can build street legal cars that can be daily driven . But they would be totally built with that In mind. #1 thing would be cooling and then there’s fuel capacity . And all the legal things for being on a public road . And or pass your given states safety and emission laws. Hope that answers your questions. Thanks for watching. 👍👍
