RIP... Had the Joy of meeting Scott at WSID when he was out here for the USA vs AUS top fuel drags when taking pics there..... At least he died doing something he loved.

Sad day indeed,I remember the first time i went to watch a top fuel meet at WSID, it was when Scott Kalitta came out to Australia and Raced. When ever i got a chance to watch NHRA on ESPN i was always barracking for him to win.

RIP Scott.

Ive seen the footage of the crash and i cant help but think, if they had a sand trap and that wall wasnt there, Scott would be still with us.

I thought he was in trouble screaming down the track on fire. But when he hit the wall at the end of the track.......Well, that was just nasty!!

Its a small section that sticks out from the side guard rails that supports the safety net.... I guess 999/1000 would steer it into the net....

Its a freak accident.
