Scott Kalitta bad accident
 
Went through safety net. Not good. Very sad! Don't know details yet

TV said transported to Etown hospital. Word from track is that it is very bad. Top end explosion, tearing apart back half of car. Went through net and almost into trees

Our prayers are with him and his family

RIP Scott Kalitta, may the angels hold you high and mighty in the Lord's arms. It's always a shock and sinking feeling in someone when they hear the news. I was at work tonight when I looked up and saw Ron Capps being interviewed on the TV and I said to myself someone died today at Englishtown and it put me in a rut the rest of the night. I was not one of the biggest Scott Kalitta fans in the pits or watching him on TV but, I honor him because he did something he loved. He died doing the one thing in life he enjoyed besides flying aircrafts for his father. He was a drag racer at heart and he had that grizzly demeaner of a Funny Car Driver. The one positive thing that may come out of this is for NHRA and JFR to look into working on a new parachute configuration for cars. Maybe something like a dummy chute that if the body gets tore off and the chutes don't deploy they have a option to have a backup just like skydivers. Anyways it's a sad day in drag racing and Scott will be missed......RIP SCOTT KALITTA
