It was not a time run so not sure if that matters. I think I just blew it by rolling forward and then killing the engine just a bad run all around. Actually I am a bit embarrassed to post it but wanted to get some opinions. Here is a better run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-EwO2XCvIM

Probably staged really shallow and then stteled out the beam. Why they red lite you so fast is beyond me.

You rolled backwards out of the beam when the starter hit the button. Time slip probably says LB3A right?

Are you sure it rolled backwards? To me it looks like after you were fully staged with both bulbs lit you let off the brakes(brake lights went out) and you simply rolled forward for a redlight.
Nice car by the way!

As already pointed out the car moved out of the beams backwards. The reason for the instant red was it was the other car was staged, all four bulbs on, no option when someone moves backward or totally out of the beam but to DQ them. Just the way it is.
Wish I could have gotten over to chat Herb. Always enjoy shooting the breeze with you and admiring that cool GTX you have. BTW the linelock idea is a very good one for the launch.
