Yeah I was watching some this morning and they were interviewing other drivers, and giving some insight/history on Kalitta.

It was sad, even worse watching the video on youtube...

thanks for the post guys,

it just felt weird, I couldnt watch it and turned it down and got on the computer. Sure, Kalitta proboly would want the race to go on, because its his brotherhood with other Top Fuel/Funny Car drivers.

For me, as a fan, Im not in that brotherhood. Just hard to get excited.

it was sad and another great name lost to our sport...but, maybe i missed it, was there not some sort of gravel trap at the end of the track? i could have sworn that there wasnt one. i doubt it would have helped but maybe there was a chance.

that's a tough one. Especially the "what-ifs" and "what could have been".
