Default What would you do with a third Channel?

Ok, weird thread this one, but what function would you have activate on a third channel from your transmitter during racing? The answer has to be scientifically possible and something you can do while actually racing.

Example: Button which activates marshall wake up siren on car

I would have it as a push button on/off switch, as there's no chance I could operate it proportionally while steering and throttling, so it'd have to be operated by a thrust of the hips or somet... Id set it to drop the wing flat to get the best airflow for top speed, and so I can run a mahoooosif wing so the car is litarally forced onto the track for the corners.

Be quite funny to watch the racer on the rostrum, imagine Brian Harris's commentating "Just look how he thrusts his hips down the straight to get the best top speed".

I'll think of some more idea's, for a hip thrusting push button 3rd channel.

You could use it to raise/lower and end of your choice, no idea why, to tired to think about it (long day)

I had a mechanical version of this in operation at Southport.

Just a shame electronics gremlins killed the 4wd racing for me as it was working well.
