my sincere respect for the loss of Scott Kalitta today. Scott lost his life in a qualifying run at englishtown N.J. Iv`e had the pleaure to see him race and admired his sporsmanship.he will be missed.

A sad day indeed....I've also had the pleasure of seeing Scott grow up in the racing business...not many like him anymore...

ALTHOUGH I`VE NEVER MET SCOTT, i FEEL A CONNECTION. AFTER WE INSTALLED THE 383 THAT nOSAL1 BUILT FOR ME , WE WERE HAVING SOME FINE TUNING ISSUES.SAL`S BROTHER WORKS FOR cONNIE kALLITA, AND HE HOOKED US UP WITH SOME OF sCOTTS CREW TO HELP WITH SOME ADVISE. bACK IN THE `60`S SAL USED TO RACE A `62 VETTE AGAINST CONNIE  IN sT LOIUS. LAST YEAR AT GAINESVILLE THEY BOTH GOT A CHANCE TO MEET UP WITH EACH OTHER AGAIN AND SWAP STORIES AND A COUPLE OF PHOTO OPS.

I always hate to hear when this happens. Going up in flames isn't a good way to go. At least he died doing what he Loved!
