Memories of Scott Kalitta

My Memory

Rusell Remy Jun 24, 2008

My dad worked for Connie back in the late 70's and early 80's and I remember as a young boy going to some of the races with the whole crew when Connie drove top fuel. One of my clearest memories of that time was riding in the chase truck with scott when he was a teenager. How lucky I was to have that type of experience. Scotts death really hits home, but he died doing what he loved. My condolences to the Kalitta family.

You will be missed

David and Carolyn Migura and family Jun 24, 2008

My husband and I go to drag racing every time it is in town and one car always stuck out in our minds. We were watching on that tragic day and my heart just sank when We saw the accident. We know he is with God now and may he rest in peace along with the other great ones who have passed before him. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY but he will always be with them in their hearts and minds in time to come. He will truly be missed.

When someone passes this way it is tragic. But going home the way SCOTT did, he was welcomed home. Doing what he loved. You will be missed , GOD SPEED SCOTT.
Walking with Jesus. You are the man. Life was full, I just hope some good will come out of this. Longer sand trapps , nets, other safety things that need to be put in the end of the track.

My thoughts

He died doing what he loved to do. Only a select few of us will be able to do that. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.

My heart felt prayers go out to the Kalitta family. I graduated with Connie in 1957 from Mt. Clemens High School and felt bad hearing this news. We too have lost a son and know the heart ache.

Reflection

Scott- when you were only 15, I was a spectator at Raceway Park on June 15, 1977 when we lost Jerry Studnicka who was the driver of the jet-powered dragster, "Compulsion".

31 years later, my heart sank as I watched your qualifying run.

I knew HIM

Melissa Jun 24, 2008

I opened his account at the place where I work, I didnt even reconize it was him at first because I didnt think he lived where I lived. I told him my husband and I were race fans and a couple days later he brought in one of his Race Cards that you would get if you went to a race at his Trailer and he signed both of them right in front of me. What a Nice guy!! I saw him a couple of weeks ago in our drive up and waved. He was always friendly!!
