Well I didn't get to go racing today--but I got to go testing--  the reefing 
system on my drag chutes--tied one of them on the back of my truck -- got up to 
85--thats as fast as my tow truck will  run--diesel with 5.13 gears--

threw the pilot chute out the window --worked like I had hoped --It looks like 
it will control the size if the initial canopy--
 --next step need to test at 150 and above will have to wait to get it on the 
lakes next year
