Many tracks 'back in the day' tried individual 'lane trees' but I don't know why they disappeared...maybe too much chance of failure with the electronics back then? I know Lebanon Valley in NY had them...I have an old Fram Filters/ Don Garlits video of him match-racing there with a front-motor fueler. I don't remember if they had 2 or 3 trees on the start line....I do remember him in the video with a beard though...that would be 1967 as he shaved at Indy when he won after a long slump. I think Motor City and Detroit Dragway tried these systems as well.......
