Just a random question, but are the chutes rated for a certain MPH. I dunno how the chassis would like a chute deployment at 250. Seems like it could slow you down a little too quick

OBJECT OF UNLIMITED:The object is for the driver to be the fastest vehicle in a specific UNLIMITED CLASS at the end of the mile (last 132 feet of the mile). You will receive a speed certificate based on your top speed run. This is for those that will be attempting speeds over 190MPH.
There will be 2 Unlimited groups:
1. Street Vehicle Legal Unlimited
2. All other Vehicle Unlimited
Within these groups, the classes are sub-divided into vehicles with power adders and without power adders. These will be the class choices:
1. UNLIMITED STREET VEHICLE 2. UNLIMITED STREET VEHICLE WITH POWER ADDERS- Nitros, Turbo, Supercharger or Unlimited Power Adders 3. UNLIMITED RACE VEHICLE
4. UNLIMITED RACE VEHICLE WITH POWER ADDERS – Nitros, Turbo, Supercharger or Unlimited Power Adders
WHAT DETERMINES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNLIMITED STREET and RACE? To be classified as street, your vehicle must be legal to operate on public roads. We will use common sense to determine this and ask for proof of registration and state inspection.
SAFETY and OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR UNLIMITED: You must meet the requirements for STREET SPEED TRIALS AND the below ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. You must fill out a high-speed driving experience form, submit it to the Texas Mile and gain approval to enter in an unlimited class.
2. You must submit a safety equipment check-list to the Texas Mile (with the experience form) and gain approval to enter in an unlimited class.
3. ROLL BAR/CAGE: A 4 point roll cage that meets drag racing specs outlined in the NASA CCR is required for cars going 190MPH and higher, click here for NASA CCR http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules/ccr.pdf. Some exceptions might be made for factory roll protection based on car manufacturer, experience of driver, projected top speed and special waivers signed.

sorry about that, it said that cars over 190 mph were required a chute chassis reinforcement, atleast a 6 point cage, fire safety equipment, etc..

There are exceptions. Ford GT and Gallardo are allowed to go 190+ without a cage or chute. Realistically, some 20 year old Porsche with a cage is still nowhere near as safe as a stock Ford GT.

At the speeds shit goes now, who knows. I don't think anything qualifies as safe at 250 mph. I went out in that yellow car on Thursday and just on a little test rip we ran to the top of 4th which is just over 200 like it was nothing. After the car ran 251 and 255 with the shifter popping out in 5th (on the 251 it popped out twice, and he's literally off the gas for 2+ seconds and STILL ran 251), he was burning it up and down the return road in anger trying to bang it into 5th and I was just thinking "You have to be kidding me. He's ripping to the top of 4th over and over like it's nothing and that's around 200-208 mph at just about 7400 rpm."

Ludicrous speed.
