I have personally know the Kalitta family for just about Fifty years.  Watching the kids of Connie (Kalitta) grow up over the years and being a father of boys of Scott's age I don't know what I would do or feel if this tragic loss occurred to my boys.  While viewing the videos of that horrible accident I don't understand the violent explosion upon impact with the sand barrier at the end of the drag strip.  The first explosion seemed to me the result of a supercharger defect.  I do realise that nitro fuel is very powerful stuff but after a 300 mph run and the supercharger explosion there should not be much fuel left in the car to cause such a terrible explosion ending Scott's life.  THANK YOU and Please let me hear your comments.
