Recommendations for a Timing System

HSLmotorsports Monday, 2/2/2026

I know a LOT of people have this setup, I just was wondering what I'm missing as the wires all have phone jacks and I do have adapters for them. I'd like some advice for setting this up. Pictures included

I am not familiar with this set up.

Have you reached out to Slanman?

Definitely reach out to Slanman if you're having troubles. I don't see a manual linked on his site, you should recommend that too. Having it as a PDF would be a great resource even for prospective buyers.

And while I don't have one of these, if it's like finish lines of the past, the phone cables shouldn't need any adapter. It just connects the finish line with the starting gate. I would like to think the power source is some standard USB-ish thing that doesn't need any adapter shy of the wall outlet (like in your photo).

Definitely reach out the Slanman or Kansas Diecast on FB he is usually very helpful. I'm not familiar with his open track set up. But the drag track uses one long phone cable to connect the estart gate and timer, and each have their own individual USB power supply.
