Tribute to Scott Kalitta Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta, 46, died June 21 from multiple injuries suffered after his car went out of control and crashed in a high-speed racing accident at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park during the fourth and final round of qualifying at the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals. Kalitta was extracted from his car by NHRA emergency services officials and transported to Old Bridge Township Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. This video is a tribute to his life and what he loved to do. I'm just an amateur, so it's nothing fancy, but I wanted to do it for him, his family, his friends, and the fans. We'll miss you, Scott!

The plane, owned Ypsilanti, Michigan-based Kalitta Air, hurtled 980 feet off the end of the runway at around 1:30 p.m. Crew members of the Bahrain-bound plane with 76 tons of freight were taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Firefighters on the scene prevented the fully fueled jet from bursting into flames. Brussels passenger flights continued without any problems and without any major delays on the airport's two other runways. The weather was clear at the time of the accident, after light rain in the morning. It isn't yet clear what caused the accident.

US Airways Boeing 767 takeoff, Kalitta 747, BMI A319 @ AMS Watch a US Airways Boeing 767, a Kalitta Boeing 747 Jumbojet and a BMI (British Midland) A319 take off from Amsterdam airport Schiphol. It was a bright and beautiful day for spotting aircraft; just kind of chilly and very windy. Runway 06-24 (Kaagbaan) is still the best runway for spotting but it seems that the spotting there will be over pretty soon as Schiphol airport is expanding.

Scott Kalitta (February 18, 1962 -- June 21, 2008) was an American drag racer who competed in the Funny Car class in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Powerade Drag Racing Series. He was killed in Englishtown, New Jersey, after an accident during qualifying. He had 17 career Top Fuel wins and 1 career Funny Car win, and at his death he was one of fourteen drivers to win in both divisions.

Scott Kalitta Fuel Coupe hero killed in NHRA crash This news hits the Australian Drag Racing fraternity very hard, as Scott Kallita had been a repeat visitor to our shores, racing a Top Fuel Dragster at Western Sydney International Dragway during the 2005 & 2006 USA Boxing Day Top Fuel Invasion events, winning on both occasions. His qualifying tilt of 4.517 seconds, at over 332.82 miles per hour in 2007 at WSID, stands as both the quickest and fastest one-off runs in Australian Drag Racing history, with the Speed mark still standing as the National Speed Record in ANDRA Championship Drag Racing. Kalitta's official National Record mark of 4.567 at the same event in 2007 in Sydney, was only just bettered by Phil Read at the last event of the Championship a fortnight ago, during the Castrol Edge Winternationals. Speaking of team Read, Western Sydney International Dragway board Chairman Jim Read, spoke emotively of Scott Kalitta and his accomplishments. "The news of Scott's passing has shaken me up as much as any tragedy has," remarked Read in a very emotive tone. "Scott like his father Connie and his cousin Doug, is passionate about Drag Racing. As everyone knows, we had Scott and a lot of the Kalitta team here in Sydney and we got to know Scott's wife and kids... having them at our home for Christmas dinner and so on... I really struggle to find the words to say how devastated I feel about this news..." Like so many Drag Racing teams, the Kalitta team is all about family efforts and it's these aspects that stick in Jim Read's mind at this time... "His young boy Corey (14) was already living the Drag Racing dream with his dad, grinding clutch plates and just being part of it all... it's the effect on the family which really saddens me greatly." The loss of Scott Kalitta will have a heavy impact in Australian Top Fuel ranks, as the knowledge sharing with both the Jim Read Racing and Santo Rapisarda teams was valuable and significant and the friendships which result from these relationships. "I know some people question knowledge sharing but the spectacle in ANDRA Top Fuel these days with 4.5 second passes is in no small part to data gathering and learning from all that and the generosity of the Kalitta Motorsports fraternity has been a real positive influence on a few teams here -- including ours," remarked Bruce Read the Crew Chief for current Australian Top Fuel Champion -- brother Phil Read. "What is more tragic, is we have befriended the Kalitta family and the team as a whole. I have already spoken to several members of the team and you can imagine how they feel right now and its one of the dark and cloudy days we suffer as human beings, where no words can adequately cover the pain and anguish that must exist for the entire Kalitta team and family. Our thoughts are all with them at this terrible time." In this authors' own mind, images of what Scott Kalitta was all about come rapid and vivid. When he came out for the first Boxing Day event in Sydney, he had a genuine smile on his face about racing for racing's sake, he is forever the passionate Drag Racer... "What I am loving about racing in Australia is we are concentrating on gettin' down that quarter mile here. Many people know I am not the biggest fan of all the media stuff, entertaining sponsors and all that. I know we have to do that (sponsors and media) but for me, it is all about racing these cars. That's what I love to do and down here we just want to race hard and put on a good show for the Australian fans here... and that suits me just fine. Racing in Australia is about pure Drag Racing, which sometimes we can lose back home..." May we never forget that Scott Kalitta Drag Racing passion!

Scott Kalitta - Return to Racing (Post Crash Tribute) I am saddened that after the terrible news today that Scott Lost his life during a Qualifying run at Englishtown, that I only see videos of the crash being posted to YouTube. It's a pretty sad dialogue of human culture to know people would rather view the crash that ended instead of the moments that hilight a drivers' career. I filmed this clip back when I worked for Mac Tools. It is of a press conference in which Scott Kalitta was announcing his return to racing by way of the Mac Tools / West Coast Choppers Top Fuel Rail. I think this video illustrates, in Scott's way, his excitement to return to racing. I think it's important to stress that while he was taken from the world too soon, he went out doing what he loved. My heart felt sympathies go out to the Kalitta Families and the entire Kalitta racing team. Rest in peace, Scott - we'll miss you.
