Hogan Family in Denial?

Posted Nov 20th 2007 9:45AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ put up video of Linda Hogan in a 2005 drag race with daughter Brooke in the passenger seat. After the race, Linda boasted, "I love it. The rush, the speed on the road ... racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It's awesome."

Just hours before Nick Hogan turned himself in on Nov. 7, ABC Action News in Tampa Bay, Fla., confronted Linda about her reckless words after the race. She's denying she ever said it, although it's clearly her on the tape, she now says, "I never said that ... I would never have said that."

Nick Hogan says he's not driving anymore. "There's no reason for me to drive. I wake up, we eat, and I drive with them to the hospital." The Hogans say that speed wasn't a factor in the John Graziano accident, instead claiming that Nick's badly injured pal, John Graziano, failed to wear a seatbelt.

UPDATE: The State of Florida has finally suspended the license of Nick Hogan, after his horrific car accident that critically injured friend John Graziano. Hogan's license was stripped by state officials just days after he was booked on reckless driving charges. The police report shows that Nick did have alcohol in his blood at the time of the accident.

47. Once again, the pathetic Hogan family will not take responsibility for what they say or do. They are disgusting.

48. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, isn't it Linda???

Your son needs to take responsibility for his reckless driving, period, end of story and whether the injured party was wearing a seatbelt or not is mute - if your son was not driving like an idiot none of this would have happened!!!

49. Yes, there may have been a much different and happier outcome if John had been wearing his seatbelt. This probably would have also never happened had the police department done their part and busted Nick's ass the first time he was speeding way over the limit. But since the PD let him go, his parents should have taken away his license and put him through some intensive driving school or whatever. But what's done is done and unfortunately we can't rewind time. Poor John is still in a coma and no one knows if he'll ever come out of it. The Hogans should just own up their stupid comments and mistakes and apologize for them. And then they should learn to not repeat their mistakes.

50.
Nick's car had 800 horse power

that means it was built to drive between 100mph and 170mph

Your car has 150 HP

its hard to drive a 800HP Supra below 60mph even in 2nd gear

The car is not really street legal

I thought this might help some of the girls that are Nick fans... and thinking maybe he wasn't speeding?

Touch your toe to this car's gas pedal and your already doing over the speed limit before you shift into 2nd gear

51. Speed wasn't a factor? Give us a break!

52. Nick should be in jail for causing grevious bodily harm
Hulk should be in jail because he is a pimp
Brooke should be in jail because she is a whore
Linda should be in jail because she is an over-the-hill lying BIATCH!

54. Can you imagine an adult saying that they like "dodging the cops" among other things? How old is Mrs. Hogan? She talks like a juvenile delinquent. What a sorry family. AND, the moron Hulk Hogan is so vain about his appearance that he wears that rag covering his bald head. He's more concerned about vanity than contrition. Is there somewhere we can send these morons? Maybe grab them and dump them off in Afghanistan near one of Bin Laden's caves.
P.S. To you Hulk Hogan. If your biceps looked like chow mein noodles you would be a nobody today. Probably mopping floors in a nursing home.

58. For folks that don't know about cars

150 HP average car ( works best at street speeds 0-60mph)

200 HP fast car (works best at 40- 100mph)

300 HP you better know what your doing (works best at 50-120)

500 HP Lamborghini or Ferrari supercar (drives best at 80-160mph)

800 HP Supra with custome race engine (fast enough to kill someone in 2 seconds)
