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?

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

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.

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....

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...

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.

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.
