Old Drag cars

I was very young in the early years of this stuff but my older brother was into it. He taught me a lot and we had a lot of fun together. It was all good until he went to Korea and died, but was still interested in these early dragsters. I met a guy named Ronnie Kaplan who was a name in the Chicagoland area and he was cool to watch in the shop.
To bad things are so different now with expensiveness and all the safety laws. Plus the inability to even find anything like that which was around back then.
The memories remain and they are good ones.
