I never got the chance to meet Scott, but know he was loved by many. He was loved by us just because we are huge fans of NHRA. I only hope that with all the investigations they will be doing, they find results that will keep this sport safe regardless of what could happen on those tracks. Yes, we love the sport and obviously the drivers do too! But there has to be something that can keep them safe from crashes and fire explosions! Maybe these tracks should have longer real estate who knows but if the explosion knocked him unconsious then maybe there should be something done about it being able to get to the driver. This is unfortunate, I am sure the Eric Medlen Project will be doing something. John Force will find a way along with the NHRA to find a safer way!!!!!! From footage that has been shown Denshams have been working on things too! Hopefully with all the ideas and researching going on, they will come up with something. This is so terrible that another family has lost a loved one!

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.

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.
