I believe it depends on where you race lol. My local track Shadyside has the tree maybe 15 feet from the starting line, tough to peak around door pillar to see it in the right lane.

40-42 is per NHRA.

Who knows where IHRA, WDRA and outlaw tracks position the tree and beams.

Some tracks it depends on how much wire they had when they put it in.

Only God can make a Tree, but any Darn Fool can chop it Down!

I was one of the first vehicles down the track, while both my boys were in the staging
lanes behind me.

When they announced that John Irving had hit the Tree, They thought I had cut a triple Zero.!
