Now there's an idea that merits looking at! Maybe someone will design one for their car and show it off to the rest of the racing world.
BTW, if your car is required a parachute, when was the last time you actually looked at the mounting point on your own car? I'm talking about a close inspection looking for cracks in welds or metal. There is a lot of strain put on that important section each time the parachute is used.
