Drag Racing Origins - The Guys Who Invented Drag Racing

Origins of drag racing could be traced back to lakes racers, and Leslie Long was involved in those early days of drag racing, in particular at Santa Ana, the world's first commercial dragstrip.Leslie Long was one of the earliest Southern California hot rodders (before hot rodders were willing to embrace the term) and was a regular at the dry lakes in the days before World War II. Recent conversations with Leslie were the basis for the article "The Guys Who Invented Hot Rods," which ran in this magazine in May 2009.
