Need Help Reading A Time Slip
I went out to the Xtreme Corvette Club sponsored event at Hallsville this weekend and had a great time. I came away with runner up in the 12.00 to 12.69 Super Muscle bracket class so it was a really good day.
I am going over my time slips trying to learn from them and I need some help reading the finer points. From the printout on the slips it appears they use a Compulink StarTrak system to run the lights and the timing.
Some of the info is obvious but is there somewhere on the internet I can find a detailed explination of what each piece of information means?
For example, during one heads up run against a much faster car I tried to cut the light really close (it was my only chance to win.) My reaction time was .363 but I red lighted. How is that computed? Was I .363 too fast or does it mean something else.
Also at the bottom it says Right 1st .5362 (I was in the left lane)
Then it says Right MOV foul
There is also a section that says Ov/Un what is this??
Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.

Sounds to me like they were running the lights at .500 green (the old way as I know it) Now many tracks are using .000 green.
SO your .363 RED light computes on a .000 Grenn light system as a
-.137
A .500 would be a perfect light the way they were running the scoring at your track.

The tree was set to either .500 or .400. That means it really started when the third yellow came down and your .3 was less than that so you were red.
MOV stands for margin of victory. Since you went red, his win margin was the fact you fouled. If you look at other slips, it will show the amount of time that the driver crossed the finish line first by or the margin by which a driver breaks out. With no breakout both the First number and the MOV number are the same.
Not sure on the over/under
