Default another great racer gone too soon R.I.P
Saturday gone scott kalitta's car blew into flames at 300 mph and disintergrated the parachutes and could not stop before the end of the run off strip and for some reason there was a concrete wall at the end and his car hit it head on.

Thats fucking mad. There is no safety zone there. Has some one had to sacrifice their life to point out that wall is not safe being so near to a run off zone.

Not the longest of tracks, that runoff looks really short! Saying that, at 300mph i guess none would be long enough with no chute.

He quite possibly wouldnt have survived that still, but would have had a better chance.
