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

I saw and spoke with Linda at the PRI last year. She was signing posters and pictures. What a wonderful ambassador for our sport...... still! I didn't see her this year. Jim
