Scaparri Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yeah, I was completely blown away by this. Scott was a two-time top fuel champion, and his family is to drag racing what the Andrettis are to American open wheel racing. It's a real tragedy. What really makes it sad is that this is an accident that never should have happened. The run-off area at Englishtown is way too short, and instead of having a lengthy sand trap, they have concrete wall. Yes, a CONCRETE WALL. Obviously, there is a major safety issue, because that concrete wall took Scott Kalitta from us. I can't believe that the NHRA would even run at a venue with such a flaw. It's just all really unfortunate and I'm still shocked by it all. R.I.P. Scott Kalitta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffyTiffy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 This was so sad. He was such a great drag racer. His last trip to the finals was at my home track in Joliet,IL. He will be missed. RIP Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
