I really have a hard time beliveing that booze had any bearing on this at all, Lack of braking(chute,mechanical brakes) getting airborne at 125mph and slamming into a 23000lb zoom boom had a lot more to do with it.

Amen to that...I wouldn't put anything past the NHRA to try and deflect the blame away from them.No way that course should be allowed to host NHRA events until upgrades are done.

RIP Scott Kalitta...
