Default Ground launching equipment question

OK, training done, my apologies if I misinterpreted
from the first posting where you were coming from.
But I still think there might be something wrong with
the parachute setup - it shouldn't open under the normal
tension of the tow.
And 65 to 75 mph does seem too fast for the tow car.
I drove tow cars for many years before we changed over
to a winch, and I don't recall ever going as fast as
that even in no wind conditions.
I hope you sort out the problem.

It will have to wait until our next dry lake weekend. The BLM insists
on 6 months lead time to obtain a 'use permit' for the dry lake.
