Scott Kalitta bad accident

If Scott hit the pole that holds the Safety Net, what is that pole made of???
It has to be strong to hold any car going into the net.
If Scott was knocked out, then he didn't stand a chance.
The other thing i want to add is: Why does NHRA need a Camera Boom at top end anyway??
Just so people can see the big screen at the shutdown area after a run.
But i guess in this case maybe they can figure out what happened.
If that's the case then, can't they relocate it way out of the way??

Can't Raceway Park make a Real Wide Turn-off to the left for more stopping distance??
Add tons of Sand to it too.
Didn't NASCAR (ugh) make there walls Padded after Dale E. died?????

I'm also in Agreement with whomever said: USE LESS NITRO.... means Safer Runs
The Nitro cars now are like time bombs, can blow at anytime.

I think you would see a lot of better runs because NOBODY SMOKED THE TIRES.........

Even Pro Stock Cars are experiencing Severe Tire Shake.
It makes it hard to be a spectator watching & enjoying these classes.

Well, i guess i said more then enough.. THICK PADDED WALLS, bottom line. JFR
