Yes!
Also consider that, in January, 2008, they returned to the Salt for a 209.297-mph, two-way average.
At these velocities, when you trip the lights at the end of the course, you don't step on the brake pedal.
And when driver, Rick Byrnes pulled the handles for the dual-parachutes, the spoiler and capping plates helped with efficient pilot-chute inflation, pulling the main 'chutes' out, and into a more stable wake region for safe deceleration.
