Default 200 MPH & No Chute?

You may have seen it in my highlights when I was doing live coverage on Drag Week, but this was one of the craziest on board videos I've gotten yet!

Jeff Lutz lays down his 2nd 200MPH pass of the week and then the chutes fail to open!

Luckily this is Jeff's home track so he knew just how short the shut down was. After hitting the chute handle several times (and bending it) he layed on the brakes HARD, shaving off a good 1/4" of tread on one spot on his front passenger tire

The DVD will be shipping in a little over a month I hope.

Enjoy

The streak left by the tires would be comparable to the one in my shorts if it had been me.
