I've been following Drag Racing for 40 years and it's always hard to see a racer lose his or her life doing what we all love,for us the spectators.Thanks Scott for all the years of racing for us and risking your life everyday on the track.
To the whole Kalitta family,my deepest regrets.

My memory

Jeremy Feb 17, 2010

What was suppose to be a great day for me on my birthday turned to a day of tragedy as i am a fellow drag racer. The loss of anyone on the track racer or crew member is like loosing a blood relative it hits hard and it hits the heart forever. You will be missed Scott hope to see you at the tree when its time for me to go. My condolences to the family. KEEP ON RACING SCOTT GIVE HEAVEN A RUN LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!!!!!

Scott did wonderful things for the world of drag racing. Drag racing wouldn't be what is today if it wasn't for the entire Kalitta family. I never had a chance meet Scott, but I sure wish I would have. Take care Kalitta family and race on!

My dad used to work on Connie's airplanes and Scott and I would sit around and shoot the breeze. He grew up in racing and died doing what he loved. He was taught to fly high and live life to the fullest. Our hearts go out to the Kallita family. always remember his smile!

Scott Kalitta a true Gentleman and great a Champion. He will be missed by fans and the sport of drag racing. May God bless his loved-ones and friends.
I remember the first time that I introduced drag racing to my daughter who was only 18 months old at the time; she was in awe at the bright colored fast cars and became a drag racing fan like her dad. Scott Kallita the first and fastest car that day and my daughters favorite driver. Thank you Scott Kallita for giving a dad and daughter a moment to share and enjoy great racing by a gentleman and great diver.

I watched Connie for years and then when Scott started racing I watched him all the time.
We race Pro Mod Achohol and I have seen some terrible accedents but Scott's was one of the worst ever. I hope only good come's out of this because there are some good track 's and some bad one's also. Something need's be done we must have more shut down area. I like the mile high track, because you go uphill after the finish line and then it flaten's out again.

Thanks For The Memories
