I could hear the wind in the video. Pilots learn early on of the power of a strong cross wind. It is very possible that a strong cross wind pulling the drag chute could swing the back end of the car downwind causing it to turn into the wind and leave the track. I hope the event organizers and participants think of this on their next windy day. .. BTW, that thing sure accelerated quickly.
