National event tree

I have not ran at a NHRA National event or divisional racefor a few years now, but watching the Hemi Shootout at Indy, confused with the stage lights on the Christmas Tree. I seem to recall it was 8-10 years ago when I first encountered the change from 4 small amber Pre Stage/Stage bulbs, to the split blue bulbs, but when did NHRA change to the flashing stage lights? Looks rather distracting, I imagine night races would be confusing. Are all the NHRA races using this style of stage lights now, and when did this start? Do they use this at Divisional races as well, or is it an individual track choice ?
