Even with brakes only on the rear wheels and low pressure slicks that tend to bounce, Top Fuel drivers have shown in an emergency they can stop a Top Fuel car from 300 mph on brakes alone. Funny Cars with four-wheel brakes and plenty of weight on the front end do have an easier time of it. Jet dragsters are the most dependent on parachutes since they typically run without wings and so have much less drag and little downforce.
