RIP Scott Kalitta
Scott(46) was killed today. He was transported to Old Bridge Township Hospital after his car went out of control and crashed in the fourth and final round of qualifying Saturday at the Lucas Oil NHRA Super Nationals, where he was pronounced dead.
To anyone who had seen the fiery crash, it was HORRIBLE to say the least.
May he rest in peace and god bless his family.

I had full intentions of going to Englishtown this year but my plans changed.... this is very sad news...
After seeing the areal of the track, I can't believe that the sand trap at the end is so short. It sems way to short. The one in Vegas seems at least 3x's as long.

It's pretty big, and there is a catch net at the end too...
Just heard about this myself. Sad news to hear he passed away, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
This is justr horrible. RIP Scott, and say hi to Eric for us!
just heard about this on Speed....terrible crash
Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. There but for the grace of God go I (and the rest of us).
You know, we have all done crazy things - just for the adrenaline rush and the excitement. That is part of what drag racing Mustangs and anything for that matter is all about. He lived for that rush of racing incredibly fast cars and competing at the highest level. He was one of the best at what he did. They all know the risk they are taking, I am sure. But you just can't get enough of it. He retired 2 times, but came back both times.
The saddest part is he leaves behind a wife and 2 boys. I hope that they can grieve, heal and continue on without too heavy a burden for their remaining days here on earth.
