[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

Great post man, and no one on this site could have said it better..Kallita will be missed by everyone involved in NHRA, and he was as big as anyone in the sport..May God bless his family through this..this is another tragic auto racing loss, but I dont believe this one could have been prevented. I dont care how safe those things are, when you burst into flames and lose control at 300mph, the result will most likely be very bad or tragic.

I agree. Racing is dangerous and always will be. I just hope there isnt any knee jerk reactions to this like there was when Earnhardt died.
