depending on where you go but a pro tree is .400 and the bracket tree is .500 but alot of places when you get your time slip it will be in .000 being a prefect light.

In NHRA, Pro classes are on a .400 and Sportsman classes are on a .500 heads up tree.

.500 is the sportsman bracket tree. which is where the each bulb lights up one at a time. .400 pro tree all 3 lights light up together.

It's identical to a .400 Pro Tree (Three Yellow at once, then Green), but with .500 of a second interval vs. .400. A sportsman tree goes Three Yellow's one at a time, then green with a .500 second interval.

I was unaware anyone ran a .500 Pro Tree.

As hondaguyef stated above NHRA Sportsman classes run a .500 Pro Tree.

the .500 pro is a tricky tree, but interesting to say the least.
