Parachute handles are installed in console area. I wanted them close to the shifter, that way I don’t have to take my eyes off the track to just reach over and push levers vs. looking overhead to find them. The levers are mechanically interlocked so that the smaller diameter chute with longer tethers has to be released 1st and then the deceleration chute which is larger diameter with shorter tethers can be released. The 1st chute is designed to straighten out the car if needed. This 2 chute arrangement is new to me so may take me a run or two to get the procedures dialed in.
