Was Scott Kalitta's death really just an accident?

In a quick addition and summation to what I'm saying, I just feel that the issue should be addressed from the viewpoint of before it ever becomes a problem rather than trying to minimize the effects of a problem after it's occurred.

I worked as a fuel funny mechanic on a pro level for over 20 years. All of what lead to Scott's death was something that happens in drag racing ALL THE TIME. These cars do let go often. However... what killed Scott was the ESPN manlift that was parked at the end of the track. Making contact with that is what broke that car apart. ESPN and NHRA don't want to talk about that. Look up the N.J. police report... it's out there.

Let me just throw this out there to all you conspiracy minded individuals. So because the NJSP investigated a crash in which a Father and Driver were killed. I guess this must mean the the LATE Dale Earnhardt was a navy seal or a ranger because the FLSP investigated his crash.

I agree. From my point, hopefully he knocked unconscious and probably died before the contact with the wall. As far as I'm concerned, he didn't stand a chance when that fire engulfed the whole car. That was awful. Damn.

Then it's not drag racing..it's not for the faint of heart and all need not apply.

As for the OP..sh#t happens at 8-10,000 hp..that's all there is to Scotts death.
