You're watching Drag Racing Underground....

[Diana The Doc]

As some of my readers already know, Drag Racing Underground's John Gill recently bought a pristine and muscled-up 2000 Lincoln Continental... The car was formerly a "prop car" used on THE SOPRANOS TV series... It's awfully fast and luxuriously furious (it's already been up to 120 mph)... John did a color rendering of the lady who sold him the Lincoln that I think is kinda weird and worth sharing with my readers... All that in today's blog... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

Today's blog...WOULD YOU BUY A USED LINCOLN FROM THIS LADY??...

As for your Sun. post. I hope yer right about the movie helping the sport. As long as someone is familier with the sport. I'm glad they are doing this while we still have them both. I look forward to seeing it. Just please, no 40 second races, shifting every 10 seconds, and the drivers looking over at each other. Like Frankie and Annette....remember those??

[Diana The Doc]

Zappy, I'm sure the producers will be taking some creative license with the film, but hopefully they'll remain loyal to maintaining authenticity... I would guess that it will be more true-to-life than the Frankie & Annette movies... Yesterday's blog showing the drawing of the woman who sold Drag Racing Underground the 2000 Lincoln Continental caused quite a stir in my mailbox... Lots of emails requested that I post a pic of the actual car itself...The Continental's potent 32 Valve V8 makes lots of horsepower, and enough torque to torment most other cars on the street-- (it has already accelerated up to 120 mph), it's awfully fast and luxuriously furious... And since it was once a "prop car" on THE SOPRANOS TV series, it's definitely a bruiser... In today's blog I make a challenge to anyone with a true street-driven "luxury sedan" to a duel at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park!!... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

The Drag Racing Underground speedy "SOPRANO" Lincoln Continental is awfully fast and luxuriously furious. Will take on all true street-driven "luxury sedans" to a drag strip duel. Loser buys dinner at Giamano's Italian Restaurant in Bradley Beach...

Fuggedaboutit, this bruiser Lincoln slips by the competition like greased linguini...

Hey "Hemi-Fred" are you open for the challenge with that JAck Approved Cadillac STS? That will be a great match race!

[Diana The Doc]

Jack, since yesterdays blog, I've discovered that there's others out there in cyberland who are just as chuffed about their Lincoln Continentals of the 1998-2002 era as I am... It's definitely wicked-cool that Ford put the same mucho-muscled-up 32 Valve V8 that they used in their Mustang Cobras in the engine compartment of their Lincoln Continentals too... Today's blog is inspired by a heads-up from my longtime friend Rocky Pirrone... Evidently NHRA plans on having a class for the "Classical AA/GS Group" at this years U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, Indiana... We're not just talking a few exhibition runs, we're talking their own class!!... Complete with two qualifying shots, eliminations on Sunday and the semi's and final round on Monday... What an excellent opportunity to showcase the pre '67 AA/GS class!!... I discuss with further detail in my alter-ego driven drag racing blog... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

Here's a pic of Rocky Pirrone's beautiful "Boss Hydro" Gasser, built as a tribute to Rocky's dad, Joe Pirrone Jr., who was an accomplished racer inducted into the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame. I'm sure Rocky and all the old school Gasser guys are going to shine at this years NHRA U.S. Nationals event in Indianapolis, Indiana! I'm real happy for them!

... And y'all be sure to catch Rocky Pirrone and The East Coast Gassers Club appearance at this years E'Town Nostalgia Summernationals event on Sunday, July 29th. These racers always put on a potent period correct show for the fans... Photo by yours truly courtesy of the Drag Racing Underground historical archives

The classic GASSERS love fest continues... Today is the second day in a row that I dedicate my blog to these brutal beauties... When once describing how these cars appear to me when they race down the drag strip, I said, "THEY STORM THE STRIP WITH THE GRACE OF A WILD GORILLA ON ROLLER SKATES!!"-- That quote stuck like glue and made it into the virtual Drag Racing Quotes Hall of Fame... And it's a positive and complimenting quote... I talk about how the Gassers are the new "IT CARS" of nostalgia drag racing... More Gasser Madness in today's alter-ego driven drag racing blog...

Every season I hear from more and more drag racers sobbing about nasty divorces they're going through-- and lately it seems like the number of male racers I'm hearing from who are going through painful divorces is on the rise... I dispense advice to male racers who want to maintain a healthy marriage while still pursuing their drag racing dreams... It's a matter of keeping a good balance between your marriage with your wife, and the love affair with your race car... I suggest all racers review my insight on this important matter by reading my alter-ego driven drag racing blog... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

I admit to having become addicted to the new hit TV show, "DOOMSDAY PREPPERS", that airs regularly on the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NETWORK (check local programming listings for broadcast dates and times) ... Seeing folks preparing for the alleged impending doomsday is entertaining, I don't know why, it just is... Knowing that among our community of drag racers and drag fans, that we've got our share of, uh, somewhat "extreme" and "eccentric" characters, I pose the question to my readers of whether or not they're a "DOOMSDAY PREPPER"?... Could our old school drag racing respirator masks come in handy when the apocalypse strikes?... I discuss this timely matter in my alter-ego driven drag racing blog... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

Yours truly wearing a respirator mask and protective helmet. Am I a drag racer or am I just wearing my doomsday prepper gear?!?... Are YOU a doomsday prepper?? I want to know. I'll discuss your responses in my famous FEEDBACK FRIDAY blog.

This is actually a still frame of yours truly from an upcoming BIG STICK music video release. Helmet and respirator mask courtesy of Zombie Racing. I'm appropriately dressed for the drags AND doomsday. Oh joy, lucky me!! But where's my bunker?!?...

The Drag Racing Underground business and web site has gone through some changes of late... Some of the business has been sold to other parties... And that has resulted in my blog being put on hiatus for about a month... However, I'm glad to report that I'm back on my blog... And I assure you that I'll be remaining at my blogging post for the foreseeable future... I'm back to delivering my own unique brand of genuine honesty and heart to my many loyal readers...

I'm glad to be back on the blog! Thanks for your loyal readership! Love ya for it...

A still from BIG STICK's "DRAG RACING" music video. The "DRAG RACING" song will now be featured in legendary BBC London DJ John Peel's online record collection. The song made the Top 100 among his 25,000+ record collection. We're very grateful for the honor.

It's FEEDBACK FRIDAY, meaning I acknowledge readers' feedback... I acknowledge all the positive vibes I received from readers who missed me during my short hiatus... And I reassure folks that despite Drag Racing Underground going through the recent business changes, I will stay on task with my blogging duties, and not only for the reason that my blog brings lots of so-called "traffic" to the web site, but because I love drag racing and am aware that people deserve the truth, honesty, and integrity that I insist on bringing to the drag racing journalism table... I would have it no other way-- People deserve honesty, truth and heart-- And that's what I'm committed to deliver... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

Thanks to ALL of you good folks who took the time to show your appreciation for me returning to the blog!!

Yours truly doing my journalistic duty for Drag Racing Underground... Taking my notes as night falls on the E'Town strip, and the final rounds between racers commences... Yeah, it's gettin' a little chilly, and I admit to being somewhat tired from enduring a long day of conducting interviews and making notes, but hey, I'm a dedicated gal who takes my journalist responsibilities very seriously... I sincerely believe that my public deserves truth, honesty and the REAL story... THAT'S my commitment to you...
