I found this on Jayski racing site, after hearing it on TV....

"Scott Kalitta died Saturday when his Funny Car burst into flames and crashed at the end of track during the final round of qualifying for the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park. The NHRA said the 46-year-old Kalitta - the 1994 and 1995 Top Fuel season champion who had 18 career victories, 17 in Top Fuel and one in Funny Car - was taken to the Old Bridge division of Raritan Bay Medical Center, where he died a short time later. Kalitta's Toyota Solara was traveling at about 300 mph when it burst into flames.(Associated Press)(6-21-2008)"

My heart goes out to the Kalitta family, and God bless his soul and his family.

Sry I posted this twice (its also in the off-topic section), but I wanted to make sure it was read... the admin or a mod can close one if need be

It's not really an "Off-topic", so I think we can loose that one.

Sad news, indeed. :(
