Power Racer Classic & Power Racer 2K3 Harness/Container Systems
The Power Racer Classic and Power Racer 2K3 from Parachute Laboratories combine proven Racer engineering, secure canopy containment, and a compact, form-fitting harness and container design built specifically for smaller canopy combinations.
At only 9 inches wide, the Power Racer is available in four container sizes designed to accommodate reserve canopies ranging from approximately 96 to 125 square feet. Main-canopy capacity ranges from the smallest currently available off-the-shelf sport mains up to a maximum main canopy size of 125 square feet.
The Power Racer Classic features the flexible, body-conforming construction of the Classic Racer, including the recognizable Racer midflap, two-piece riser covers, and a hinged connection between the main and reserve containers for added flexibility and comfort.
The Power Racer 2K3 retains the strength and safety features of the original Racer while adding magnetic trough-style riser covers, strong main-pin protection, a main-bridle protector flap, and a choice of pull-out or throw-out deployment. Functional Velcro is eliminated from the 2K3 design.
Standard Racer safety and construction features include:
Maintenance-free Teflon cutaway cables
Non-compressible cutaway housings
Anti-snag flaps and loop anchors
Snap toggles
Type 13 harness webbing
Externally mounted reserve pilot chute
Complete reserve-pin protection
Parapack or Cordura construction options
Custom embroidery and a wide selection of available fabric colors
The Racer reserve pilot chute was extensively tested in the NASA Ames wind tunnel to ensure strong, rapid deployment while maintaining secure canopy containment and reliable reserve-bag extraction. More than 43,000 Racer systems have been produced over approximately 45 years of field use.
The Power Racer is an excellent choice for smaller jumpers or experienced canopy pilots who prefer small mains and reserves and do not want unnecessary bulk on their back. Whether you choose the flexible construction of the Classic or the updated riser-cover and deployment features of the 2K3, the Power Racer provides a compact system built around your canopy sizes, body dimensions, material preferences, and custom design.
