Re: SCOTT KALITTA PASSED AWAY TODAY.....
There is an air strip just past the wall so you wouldnt want an out of control car taking out a landing or departing plane.
They have been racing there for years, sometimes...things just happen. Sucks for the family and the sport though, RIP. |

I never really liked Ron Capps, but he slammed the NHRA on espn2 for racing 330mph cars on a track that was designed when the cars were going 200mph and hasn't added an inch to the shut off area since.
You know Scott Kalitta was a racer at heart though. Anyone who's family has a bazillion dollars and still races is a racer. RIP |
Re: SCOTT KALITTA PASSED AWAY TODAY.....
