The marina launch was soooo cool in the old days!!! That gave much more of an on the line, up close feeling, as they lauched and drove by the crowd. I think this could add the spark needed for drags to become popular again as a spectator sport. My 2 cents, and I do attend most meets as a spectator. The sound of thunder, the smell of good fuel, and a couple of boat hops along the way. daddy b
