quick parachute question............
NHRA rules say "no ball-pin locks"......im in the middle of welding all my crap in there...and all of the kits i have seen come with a ball pin lock to hold the chute MOUNT.......is this OK? more or less to make the chute mount quick release.....if i need to weld it thats fine...i just need to know tonight if possible....thanks guys

Re: quick parachute question............ (Zubaltec)
technically im not fast enough yet 
i keep doing things as i need them like a retard...like i put a 6 point cage in the car......that lasted me one race..then going back and adding to that was a lot harder than if i would have just done the correct cage to begin with....so i figured while im waiting on parts i'd throw the chute on there and be ready for when it does happen. we all know how awesome my luck is so i figure i'll think ahead.
got everything finished up other than running the cable.....its getting late and im hungry..might finish it up later. this cars a full time job in its self

Re: quick parachute question............ (Arturbo)
They are referring to the lanyard mount, not the actual chute mount. Most kits come with a bolt and sleeve for the lanyard. It's fine to have a quick release pin in the chute mount tube.
