notice the starting line light, a 6 volt battery type flashlight

I am going to suppose that the flashlight was supplying the trigger light to the photo cell at the Chrondek timer in between the lanes. 

I'm lucky enough to have bought one at the swapmeet about a decade ago when a hot rod club was getting rid of the stuff out of their clubhouse that hadn't been used in years http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/chrondek-photo-electronic-timer-model-m.html
