I know most you folks are not avid fans of NHRA like myself but the racer Scott Kalitta, son of the legend Connie Kalitta, died in qualifying today. I will post the tragic video when it comes available.
As with most racing trying to harness 8000 HP is a tough thing to do at times.

I think the controversy will be the run off area. It is far too short at some tracks. Especially for cars going 300 MPH.
