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....

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

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.

She may have been special back in the 60's, but welcome to Sports Illustrated 2012:

As CharleyBob would say, "times change and it ain't the 50's anymore".

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

It is a unfortunate fact of life, We all start out young and beautiful and we ALL grow old and die.

Trust me, from someone who has spent a small amount of time with Linda over the years she HAS NEVER BEEN and WILL NEVER BE nasty. She is as far from that as is possible.

That's a very cruel thing to write about someone who is one of the kindest, most considerate, and friendliest people I've ever met. Regardless of what you may believe, she is the epitome of class.
