From: a group of guys on Chicago's S.Side we'll never forget the days of Martin Michian we were all teenagers and so was "Scott" He was our hero seeing him drive a T/F Funnycar at such a young age. There is no way He'll never be forgotten A fallen Champ.My God Bless the entire Kalitta Family. '"Riley Bros Racing"

Many Tears Shed

I am a very big fan of NHRA I never had the chance to meet Scott although I never got to meet Scott I got the chance to meet other drvers in St Louis and they were wonderful people and I know Scott was a wonderful driver - husband -father -son and had many friends.He will be very missed he is looking down on us saying all you NHRA fans go to the races and have fun all you drivers get out there and put on a great show for the fans .My thoughts go out to all of his family all the crew people and all friends remember he is sharing great stories with Darrell Russell and Eric Medlen .Scott enjoyed doing what he loved!

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.
