Please use our Drag Chute Sizing Calculator or download the Drag Chute Sizing Chart below to determine the parachute or parachute combination for your race vehicle. For packing your chute refer to our two instructional videos “How to Pack a Drag Chute” and “Replace Drag Chute Pack Release Loop”. If you have questions, please call and consult one of our drag chute specialists. Proper parachute sizing is critical to driver safety.
WARNING: DO NOT USE the TUBE type parachute mount where the chute attachment loop goes inside a tube and a bolt goes through the tube and loop. This will almost always cut the loop after a few uses. We will NOT warranty any of these repairs!

Parachute Sizing Calculator
All speeds are based on ¼ mile track length. If you race ⅛ mile simply add 40 mph to your top speed to use the chart or calculator. This will pair your car with the appropriate chute(s) for an ⅛ mile track.
