I like to have both!!!! When things go wrong as they occasionally do, nice to have an option to find the whoa control!!!! I much preferred launching off the handbrake, too!!! Not sure why, just something for the other hand to do I guess!!!!! Usually stopped with the foot brake, used the right hand for the chute, then as a backup on the brake, especially on the short shut down tracks!!!!!!

PS--Blowing a valve cover gasket on a FED can REALLY make for a wild ride!!!! Make sure you use good covers and gaskets!!!!!
