I about fell over when I heard this today. It really is to bad but really drives home how much danger is involved in any motor sport.

My well wishes are with his family and all of the NHRA for sure.

This is crazy... I was watching the drags this afternoon too and must have dozed off.  They were highlighting all the new safety features in cars these days to.  Too bad this happened, he has 2 young boys too... pray for em'.

His dad Connie (Owner Kalitta's Flying Service) was a pioneer of the sport as well.

Tragic accident.
