I was there and again we go with "Short Shutdown", Top Fuel Cory Mac just went Lowest EVER 1000' at 4.75!!! He stopped!! Parker NEVER tried to stop....Maybe he had a heart attack...NO shut down is long enough for that unless running at bonneville or it runs out of gas first!!

MANY cars have STOPPED at E-Town WITHOUT chutes!!!! the nets worked last year on Alexis DeJoria when her chute's pulled the rear end off the car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NMhzawONJM

HOW than is it too short? Yes its one of the shortest, but AGAIN the CAR NEEDS to TRY to STOP, and IF NOT another 600' is not going to work.!
