RIP Scott Kalitta, may the angels hold you high and mighty in the Lord's arms. It's always a shock and sinking feeling in someone when they hear the news. I was at work tonight when I looked up and saw Ron Capps being interviewed on the TV and I said to myself someone died today at Englishtown and it put me in a rut the rest of the night. I was not one of the biggest Scott Kalitta fans in the pits or watching him on TV but, I honor him because he did something he loved. He died doing the one thing in life he enjoyed besides flying aircrafts for his father. He was a drag racer at heart and he had that grizzly demeaner of a Funny Car Driver. The one positive thing that may come out of this is for NHRA and JFR to look into working on a new parachute configuration for cars. Maybe something like a dummy chute that if the body gets tore off and the chutes don't deploy they have a option to have a backup just like skydivers. Anyways it's a sad day in drag racing and Scott will be missed......RIP SCOTT KALITTA
