cbs latest on handbrakes?

Boy, I just can't believe NHRA would not see this as a safety problem, After reading about how the throttle stuck open on the previous, and how the hand brake saved the day, it would probably be in the best interest to make a secondary braking system, mandatory on all cars. I know a Mustang in division 3 super gas that pulls the chute at the end of the run, to help out his braking. This way he would not have to pull the chute and use the hand brake to help stop. I guess I would not be able to race cause I can't turn the steering wheel with one hand, and if I am braking hard I like to have both hands on the wheel. I am starting to realize that the class I am in the wrong class, And I liked the class.
