Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Linda is and has always been the 1st Lady of Drag Racing.

Now, belive it or not, I did notice the cars.... I've seen the 300 Chrysler before but don't recall ever seeing the Nova (GTO?) in this picture. Anybody got any other photos?

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

She was at the "Lions Drag Strip" last race reunion two weeks ago at the NHRA museum

She has aged well ....

She said she had a chest cold and one of the speakers made a comment - if you know what I mean

:-) peace

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

I think I read some wheres that said she had some sort of heart procedure done earlier this year...I guess everything went well if she's up and about now...I still have my autographed photo signed by her from the mid 70's. ;)

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Yes she has aged gracefully .a real southern sweatheart ,,,i beleive she did mention the proceedure , could have been disracted a bit .. had about three or four different pictures she was signing and some nice buttons....

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

I was fortunate to win a National event and she was a big part of the winners circle pictures....and some are of just me and her.....Great fun. She always had time to stop and talk to anyone in the pits and made you feel like you knew her personally....

She was always as nice as could be and trust me I saw her in her prime with the Hurst cars and the platform and the other Hurst girls.....Hard not to see them back in those days.....they kind of stuck out ......LOL

Linda in 1969,,,,
A 25 year-old, Professor of Air-flow and Fuel Mixture

Explaining the mechanics of a 6-Barrel set-up on the 440, and
why air-flow and fuel mixture with '3' smaller carburetors will outperform
a single large 4-Barrel carburetor.

Look at the '3' young students. What ever happened to them.

Unfortunately, Buster and Ronnie left us way too soon. I think Buddy is still hanging out in central NC.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

During my days with ACDelco, I had the opportunity to do the "play by play" (guest announcing) at several races during Pro Stock with Bob Frey and Ms Linda. She is a walking encyclopedia of Pro Stock...

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

we seen her at the SEMA show this year in vegas. she commented briefly on being well. she was signing posters at the barret -jackson booth. it was great to see her out.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

I missed her at SEMA, i didn't think she'd be there. She is a real treasure. She certainly has picked up a lot of knowledge of all motorsports over the years and is probably met and remembers more racers names than any person alive.
Here she is at last years SEMA with Doc Watson and George Barris.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

The idea was a "vision" right?

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Poor Miss AHRA, she is a FINE looking woman and I bet she felt as flat as a surfboard compared to Linda.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

She also looked pretty good when she was older. Just the right amount of marbling.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Diane Sox posted on Facebook that her surgery is scheduled for the 27th.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Kevin the picture in the link is Linda dressed in a skit that was put on. She was made up to look like Marilyn Monroe. It was part of the Rat Roast show i believe.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Kevin, don't be too harsh. You're going to be old too one of these days. In her day she was a fox.

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

Exactly as Greg says....

Linda was and is a great personality for all motorsports. And has been for 40+ years. I was lucky and had her in a winners picture session.

My mother used to say ....."It's no picnic getting old".....She made it to the age of 96!

Re: Linda Vaughn
 

I saw her last summer, she looked very nice.
