This is the footage I took prior to the crash. Those Gallardos were insane! I almost got footage of the crash but was distracted at the exact moment of the crash. BTW the Ford GTs and Supras were just as fast, also.

WOW, I can't believe that. I feel like if you pulled that chute the car will just be at the mercy of it, meaning it drag it in a straight line. It's almost like he tried to turn once the chute was pulled. It seems that if you pulled the chute it wouldn't cause it to pull in a certain direction but straight back. Look at top fuelers, that doesn't happen when they pull the chute.

That is why chute placement is critical. Positioned a fraction of an inch left or right, or up too high and you see the results.

Glad the driver made out alive. This should have been done at Bonneville.

Unreal. He is very blessed to have made it, and I doubt he is completely fine from that kind of impact. I hope I'm wrong, but highly unlikely.
