If the reason that everyone wants a hand brake is to have a secondary braking system in case of failer with their primary braking system, and NHRA is thinking that it will be used for use at the top end, why can't the hand brake be tied into the chute? That way if the hand brake is used the chute will deploy. NHRA would then be able to look at the car and see if the primary brakes had failed. It looks to me that if the whole argument is about saftey, then no one should have a problem with their chute deploying. If someone doesn't want it tied into the chute, my question would be why.
