I need a parachute......
And was wondering how you built a mount? Does any vendor sell a pre-fabbed unit? What chute, cable and handle is everybody using? Pictures would be great!!

I'm in the same boat you're in, i've already bought the competition engineering chute mount, as well as the anchor brackets from summit. makes things look a lot easier. I will be installing it all before BG, hopefully. I haven't purchased an actual chute yet, also looking for some opinions.

Sorry to hijack but what MPH are you running to need one? I know NHRA wants one at 150MPH.
