  • I was named after Blaine Johnson

  • Look at the passing power of the other car at about 1:34. Keep in mind they are probably still going about 100mph at that time.

  • Wish the nhra made wheelie bars mandatory at that time. R.I.P. Scott

  • B T W, R.I.P. Blane, Scott, Al and So many others lost recently n in the past.

  • I was at this race! One of the most thrilling T/F finals I ever seen. And that started when I saw Garlits at night at Maple Grove when I was 8. 1966 I think it was. At this race we sat out for 2++ hours of rain. Thats why its so late. Think Force n Hoffman were in F/C final. Thx 4 the post.

  • Scott Kalitta was an awesome driver, and he will be missed.

  • @Nxtl68 haha thats probably all he hasnt done... just tonight i saw him on a broadcast of a nascar whelen modified tour race. hes a motorsports broadcasting whore! haha

  • ya know what, i don't think he ever hit the wall.... could he of still won that race had it went across in reverse?
