Drag Racing Starting Light System Diagram - Pre-Stage & Stage Sequence #1238559 (License: Personal Use)

The image illustrates a drag racing starting light system (commonly called a “Christmas tree”), featuring two upper amber lights labeled “PRE-STAGE” and “STAGE”, followed by four sequential amber lights, then a green light signaling the start, and a red light indicating a foul start. Each side mirrors the other for dual-lane competition, with precise timing used in professional drag racing events. The black central mast supports the symmetrical light array, designed for high visibility under track lighting.

Used on motorsport education pages, race rule guides, or drag strip operator manuals; targets enthusiasts, new racers, or spectators seeking to understand launch procedures and timing signals in bracket or pro-mod drag racing.
