“It was a heartbreaking race,” said Larry Cummings, father of Bayou Boyz Racers, Slate and Britt. “It was also a relief, because after racing in the NHRA for two years we made it to the finals. It was a huge boost in confidence for our team. We have a good record in the IHRA and we’re going after a good record in the NHRA.”
In addition to his runner-up finish in Super Stock, Slate Cummings advanced to the fourth round in Super Comp. Mechanical problems hit hard and hurt his run with eventual runner-up Tommy Costales.
“We put up a good weekend all around,” said Britt Cummings. “Slate went a bunch of rounds and earned some valuable points. Overall, I’m content with where the team is headed. At this point last year we were upside down with our engine program and it took half the season to get everything straight. Now we’re where we need to be in every class that we run.”
Slate Cummings recorded a huge 186.78 mph at the 8.90 index in his Moser Super Comp Dragster. The teams Camaro also ran a 10.45 (11.65 Index) with Britt Cummings at the wheel. The family affair continued as patriarch Larry Cummings recorded an 11.31 in his 1968 Camaro (12.45 Index).
