The GLB is a latch mechanism
specifically designed for the BestTrack Pinewood Derby track. It operates
by remote control to start your race with nobody near the track. The GLB
mounts with a pair of 1/4"-20 bolts included, using the same captive
bolt system as the rest of the track construction. The electronics portion
of the unit is protected within the cavity of the track..

The
actuating component is a linear solenoid which pulls the BestTrack's gate
handle by a brass pull rod. You must drill a small hole in the gate handle
(red arrow) to attach the pull rod. Diameter 3/32", 1.25" from
the bottom.
After passing the
rod through the lever hole, simply position the GLB so the release occurs
just as the solenoid plunger is fully engaged.
Attach power and triggering
cable(s), and you are ready to race
