those are the drag parachutes
Tcar is correct, there are 2 chutes just under the engine exhaust as seen here:



One of my jobs was to pull the "remove before flight" safety pins from the chutes prior to making a run. These were the high speed drag devices prior to using the magnetic brakes at slower speeds.
