Slate Cummings Picture
 

In the last National Dragster there is a cool picture of Slate Cummings staged. I was wondering what that little red button on the steering wheel was for?

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

When did GM put up a satellite? Is there a letter saying that it can be used with older models or is it for the cars with hi-tech electronics only?

See what you started Sean.........

Unk

ok u got me,If you really really want to no what the red button is for,it is used when I stage the car I push it and it starts my counter and is also used to turn on my electric eye which is hooked to the delay box that is mounted under the passenger seat cushion.If you need any more details please get back to me...thanks slate cummings AKA the Golden Child

Wow,and I thought it was for the espresso coffee machine in the trunk.Go figure.

Slate, I don't know you personally but people just cant stand people that have good driving skills. I know you are good friends with the Folk's here in Illinois and they are great people to race with. There are alot of jealous people out there that should be worring about learning to be a better driver than worrying about everybody else. Keep up the good work and maybe I will meet you at the track next year.

Slate,
You forgot the part about the new patent on "The Thing" and the first 100 people that order can have one for $99.95 free shipping.
Did'nt your daddy teach you anything.LOL

Slate, come clean on this. Everyone knows that the electric eye hooked to the delay box is not as consistent as your lights have been.lol

Can you spell - Line-Loc

That said be careful on here.

My X use to say this and I hated it - not sure if it was because it was true or just irritating

"there is truth in every joke"

You would have to be a fool, to think that all of the things that are mentioned on this forum are a fantasy. There are some serious electronics being used out there.


:-) peace

Good one Slate. Hey take it easy on me next year at the IHRA races. You and your dad were tough on me this year. LOL

Re: Slate Cummings Picture

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

I cannot believe that you all are thinking in some electronics way what the button is. C'mon now, it's so simple.

It is the EASY button from Staples.

Re: Slate Cummings Picture

Re: Slate Cummings Picture

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

Its just the EASY button ! LOL ! He can make it look easy !

Good job this yr Slate !

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

lol I know someone who actually has one of those in their car

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

If it would make me drive like Slate, I'd get me one! Really pleasant young man too! I like him so much I almost don't mind him kicking my tail like he does. He does make it look way too stinking easy.

Almost.

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

Slate knows I'm kidding him.

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

Also, it is tied into the tracks timing system for the win light to come on.

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

chad u know what the easy button is for ,,, its to get that shyt off ya , its really never comes off though.... tell ur dad hello for me

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

Slate is as good as they come. The man is just laid back, calm, cool, and collected. He gets up there does his thing, and makes it look easy. Defintely one of my heroes...

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

Shut up. You'll have people looking at that. Then I'll have to have Fuqua invite you over to the motorhome again.

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

that would require him going racing, which i haven't seen in a while.

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

When we ran at Belle Rose in Sept, in rd. 1, we both wanted the right lane. I said, " Ok, I'll flip ya for it. Can ya land on ya feet ? "

He just raised his eyebrows, and showed me he could make it look easy......

He wuh dat good !

Re: Slate Cummings Picture
 

If you spend time watching those boyz practice, like I have at No Problem, you would see that they are upset if they take more than .01 of stripe. Got to hand it to them... practice is what it takes. They spend many days at the track getting "the feel" for their cars.

Dem boyz got it together... and the proof is in the puddin'. Great job all year long by all the drivers from NPR (and that don't mean National Public Radio).

Forget the red button... some of us are colorblind.
