Default Re: Scott Kalitta...dead at 46!

My .02 cents. I was there at the scales on the return road. Scott appeared to be unconsious from the crankshaft engine xxplosion. The was NO attempt to brake and the laundry never blossomed to scrubs off speed. Monmentum carried the car past the traps and my guess he hit the sand and catapaulted at about 200-225 mph. THAT is not what sand traps are for. At an underheard speed off 200, the sand did what it could; the TV booms was off to the right of the right lane. If it wasn't the, along with the stand of trees, ETown regulars like myself know that the top-end sits higher then Pension Road and Scott would have become airbourne, crossed the road and crashed into the Pension Road "overflow" parking lot.
