i lived in austin tx at the time. i worked at the hilton where the kalitta air crew members stayed overnite.i remeber driving to houston to see scott win funny car over bruce larsen i believe. i felt proud going back to austin and having the kalitta air crew guys see my photos from the races.our thoughts and prayers are with the kaliita family.gv.
My husband and myself have gone to the Columbus Ohio races (Hebron - now Norwalk) and Indy for over 20 years. I missed Scott when he "retired". We were at Indy when Blaine Johnson was lost to the racing community and my hubby is at Norwalk this weekend (I was not able to go). I cannot imagine any other pain as great as losing a family member this young. I have three grown children and it would kill me if something happened to them before me. I have always been ready to go first, as it should be. Our hearts and prayers are with the Kalitta family. May God grant you some comfort in knowing that Scott could not have experienced any suffering. I hope his children will someday understand that their father was doing something he loved. Most of us never get to "love" our work, it is just something we HAVE to do. God Speed to all the Kalittas.
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE WHOLE FAMILY INCLUDING THE RACING FAMILY. SCOTT WILL BE MISSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU . SCOTT AND STACEY
