leave at the last yellow and you'll be fine, either way it won't affect your ET just for your reaction time.

We'll move this to the tech side.

Like Detroit said. Don't worry about it. Leave on the last yellow or even green light. Read this link, maybe it will help also.

Not trying to get too complicated, but if your car isnt a track monster, you can put to the line, stop when the 2nd light comes on, then leave on the last yellow and you should be able to chop that tree good. Some cars are just monsters and doing the last yellow thing can get you the red light.

The main thing to remember, is practice, practice, practice.

if you're going for the first couple times you may want to just want to forget about the tree and leave when you're ready. it wont affect your ET.
