Re: Scott Kalitta...dead at 46!
Brainerd International Raceway is my home dragstrip. BIR is the longest dragstrip and also has a 200mph corner at the end of the straightaway. It boggles my mind that there are cement walls set up to stop cars!?! NHRA is more to blame than the dragstrip. There should be mandates set with minimum sandtraps lengths and additional safety devices.
