The Hulkster's Wife Appears In Drag Racing Video
 

ABC News has confronted Mrs. Hulk Hogan, reality tv star Linda "Hogan" Bollea on her participation in a street racing video that has surfaced in the wake of son Nick "Hogan" Bollea's horrific car wreck on August 26th.
 
ABC Action News in Tampa repored that they have obtained a 2005 documentary entitled VEHICULAR LUNATICS that actually contains a DVD extra entitled STREET RACING WITH LINDA HOGAN.
 
The local news investigation uncovered that at one point, Linda Bollea (Hogan) is seen alongside another car. Linda Bollea is driving a car identified as a Mercedes S600. Her daughter, Brooke is her passenger. Brooke says to the men in the adjacent car, "Wanna race?" One of the men replies, "Yeah! We love racing you! On three." Brooke replies, "Let's do this. Alright." Then Linda Bollea says "Let's kick it." The cars take off, but their speeds are not known.
 
ABC reports Two years later, 17 year old Nick is charged with felony reckless driving after a crash leaves a friend in a coma, and after Nick was pulled over four times for speeding. At one point in the documentary, his mother was asked how she feels about street racing. Her answer: "Oh, I love it. I love it. The rush, the speed on the road, stereo blasting, heart-pounding, racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It's awesome."

ABC Action News Investigative Reporter Matthew Schwartz interviewed Linda in the Hogan Family's home just hours before Nick's arrest two weeks ago, and Linda actually denied making that remark, despite the existence of the videotape!  She states, "I never said that. I never would have said that."

ABC reports The attorney for the mother of Nick Bollea's injured passenger, 22-year old John Graziano, a Marine from Dunedin, had  previously said he's planning a civil suit against the Bolleas. We showed the documentary "Vehicular Lunatics" to Tim Prugh. He's a civil attorney in Tampa who is not involved in the case. Prugh says the video could be damaging to the Bolleas, "Damaging enough where I would attempt to keep it out if I were defending the people that were representing Mr. Bollea. And if I represent the injured party, I want to get that into evidence to demonstrate that they were enthusiastic racers and it was in the family." Meanwhile, John Graziano remains in critical condition, in a coma, at the James Haley V.A. Hospital in Tampa.
