Pro Class Chutes!

I didn't see the accident, I don't think that it's necessary that the racer is to blame for the chutes, crap happens. The Navy, they have nets that can catch fighter jets going 150 to 200 mph on the decks of carriers. I sure that the jets weight a bunch more then a fuel car. I'm totaly disappointed with NHRA that they haven't stepped up to the facilities safety equipment. Shouldn't the sanction body look at the safety of the racer that is beyond the racers control? This isn't the first time the nets didn't work, they didn't even stop a stocker in Gainesville going well under 150 mph!
