Like many, drag racing was my first entry into the world of racing. I won't disclose what sort of drag racing it was, even though I'm sure the statute of limitations is well since past, but in those early days of Jonathon and his vehicles, it was fun, accessible, and got me absolutely hooked on going fast.
And for a long while, drag racing was the motorsport of the United States, with drag strips being built in every county in every state. It was the place to be on a Friday night if you had the need for speed, and crossed vehicle boundaries, with cars, trucks, and motorcycles all enjoying the power and noise and speed of the events. But that heyday is long over.
