I don't know why they changed the numbering from Sebring, although I think it makes sense to not at a 0 when it is not needed. I don't know why 0s became 9s in some cases though.
One suggestion on the Americanlemansfans forum is that three-digit numbers starting with 9 are clearer when spoken over the radio by race officials, marshals/corner workers etc during incidents than three-digit numbers starting with 0?
