Modern drag races are started electronically by a system known as a Christmas tree. The “Standard” tree will light up each large amber light consecutively with a . 500 second delay in between them, then followed by the green light after another . 500 second delay.Click to see full answer. Hereof, what is a pro tree in drag racing?The first type which is mainly used by the NHRA Pro drag racing is called the Pro Tree. The Pro Tree is when all three amber lights flash simultaneously followed four-tenths of a second later by the green light ( green is when you gas the vehicle forward).Likewise, why is it called drag racing? The ‘roadway’ meaning of drag was transferred from England to the USA and, in the 1950s, the teenage pastime of racing cars ‘along the main drag’ began to be called ‘hot rodding’ or ‘drag racing’. Similarly, you may ask, what is a perfect light in drag racing? Since there is a half-second (or . 500 seconds) delay until the green light comes on, a . 500 reaction time is perfect.What is courtesy staging in drag racing?If you’re still fairly new to drag racing, you may not know what “courtesy” staging is. The act of courtesy staging is when the first racer pre-stages (Racer X). Racer X then waits till the second racer (Racer Y) pre-stages. Once Racer Y has pre-staged, Racer X then proceeds to stage.
