This news hits the Australian Drag Racing fraternity very hard, as Scott Kallita had been a repeat visitor to our shores, racing a Top Fuel Dragster at Western Sydney International Dragway during the 2005 & 2006 USA Boxing Day Top Fuel Invasion events, winning on both occasions. His qualifying tilt of 4.517 seconds, at over 332.82 miles per hour in 2007 at WSID, stands as both the quickest and fastest one-off runs in Australian Drag Racing history, with the Speed mark still standing as the ...
The Event was the 1989 NHRA Supernationals from Houston Raceway Park in Baytown TX. The Nitro Funny Car Final came down to 2 Oldsmobiles. The Sentry Tach and Gauges Olds of Future 89 Champion Bruce Larson. And a young upstart by the name of Scott Kalitta in his dad's Olds. The video speaks for itself. (I will upload this entire event one day, but given the circumstances of this past weekend, I felt that this was needed by the youtube drag racing community to help remember Scott.) Thanks for ...

As a sign of respect, Robert Hight idled down the track, as Scott's team stood in his place on the start line - one of the saddest moments I can remember. A very touching moment for a truly great Champion.

I am saddened that after the terrible news today that Scott Lost his life during a Qualifying run at Englishtown, that I only see videos of the crash being posted to YouTube. It's a pretty sad dialogue of human culture to know people would rather view the crash that ended instead of the moments that hilight a drivers' career. I filmed this clip back when I worked for Mac Tools. It is of a press conference in which Scott Kalitta was announcing his return to racing by way of the Mac Tools ...
