I believe -.500. I'm pretty sure LB3A is "left before 3rd amber". I could be wrong.

It was a computer malfunction, we had that up at grand bend motorplex 2 weekends ago. The tree was random, sometimes it would stop in the middle and have both red lights come on (then proceed to to have the cars run .500 -1.00 seconds slow) this was during eliminations. Other times it wouldnt start at all, but every time the red lights came on with both cars having never moved an inch.

The track changed everything they could to get rid of the bug (even used back up tree and spare timing computer) and still the malfunction occured.

The reason this all happened was 2 weeks ago we had a series of storms run through north america and somewhere between 15-20 drag strips had lightning strikes that hurt their timing sytems. Our track operator at Grand Bend was on the phone at one point for 50 minutes waiting in line to get technical help with getting our timing system up and running again. Thats how many tracks had problems all at once.
