I'm guessing he went wrong when he stopped going straight
240 MPH. Pulled the chute and it lifted the back of the car. My friend said there was a cross-wind, certainly didn't help.
That's why almost all fast cars use 2 small chutes instead of one big one- better directional control in a cross wind, and doesn't try to pick up the back end as bad. Because 2 chutes pull at an angle, where a single chute pulls from directly behind the car.
