Puntang shows up around the 6 minute mark:) Switching to 1000ft seems to have served the sport well. Not sure why some folks call it 1/8 mile. Everyone scoffed at it when they started to make the change but of course those people were not paying for the parts. We used to be able to get that close to the track and in the pits back in the early 80's. Now everything is roped off and the drivers sit at a table speed signing autographs and hawking shirts and hats. Maybe I'll go this year. For some strange reason the drags always coincided with the unlimited hydroplane races on the same weekend late August. Hydros in Seattle was always been bigger than car racing. Lots if bikini puntang at the boat races!
