Another NHRA obituary

EagleAutosports · 06-24-2008, 07:01 PM

Scott Kalitta was killed recently, we lost another great driver.

Anybody see that crash? What's up with a WALL being at the end, there should be a sand trap, water, safety nets, SOMETHING other than a wall that'll cause such a wreck. One of the worst I've seen in a long time.

I saw it. You never noticed the wall at the end when the racing is going fine but this time it was the cause of death.

I agree. There's no reason a wall should be at the end, they need a sand trap to stop the car rather than a dead stop, no pun intended.

Wasn't it Atco Raceway? New Jersey?

Actually it was Old Bridge Raceway in Englishtown. But still New Jersey.

Found the video. Like the announcer said, you may not want to actually watch this as a man dies in this one.
