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. (http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/thehistoryof/0911rc_drag_racing_origins/index.html)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.
