Classic Connie Kalitta story on nhra.com

[BaldyLochs]

Link over to the left in ND Dragster Insider; the infamous hijack story. A special treat for those who maybe never heard it; and for those who did - make no mistake, all these years later - he can still whip anybodys ass out there.

I'd rather not see that. The sight of a senior citizen with a major comb over in a fight is, well...not a pleasant sight.

Don't be knockin' the hairdo!

Apparently, women love his hair!!!

I'm hoping it's those Michigan-raised legs that turn 'em on; of which I have a pair

Probably the only one that I would question is Big Jim Dunn!

 

[Suzie Q]

From what I remember I thought he punched the guy in the plane and took the knife away just as the MSP guy got to the plane door.
I was still living in MI back then, and saw it on the TV news

I may be wrong; but I thought Scott's girlfriend (now wife) was involved; maybe being the actual one the end of the knife in thier ops. Not much room to scuffle in a Lear cabin, letalone the cockpit. And with C-Rad's size.... talk about close-quarters combat! And they still own that airplane, too. I'da like to seen Connie get that thing in the air, dump the pressure and watch good old hypoxia take care of the rest.... lips turn blue, nose & eardrums bleed..... not a pleasant way to die (as if there is any pleasant way).

 

[Suzie Q]

I still love the legend of "Ypsilanti Kaletti and the Hanger of Doom"!!! It just seems to fit in right now with the new Indiana Jones movie! By the way......I went and saw that last Friday and really enjoyed it! Not too shabby for a 65 year old!!!

Suzie since you have your finger on the pulse of all things Kalitta,perhaps you may know who is in the left seat of the Kalitta Lear that has been making very very low passes over the house on Willow Road ?

 

[SAS]

And where was Connnie during the punch fest when Hillary won ?

 

[Larry]

Ah Jeez come on, it's just racin. You win some you loose some. Where was Don his driver wins more than anyone .LOL
Well I'm wasting a lot of my time on those old videos , er company time that is. Muchas Gracias ! Practicing.

 

[SAS]

Why do you even care?

If he was not there or was not on camera, then that may be the key to future wins, or perhaps it was just her time, 4 women win in the last month,
3 in the nitro class, she was the last now running the loud cars to win. So does it start over with Ashley then Melanie then Hillary, who will repeat first.

 

[SAS]

Dennis, WTF?

Great home video of a Lear jet out of Willow Run doing the Top Gun type buzzing over Willow road. Low and fast.

 

[SAS]

You are such a bitter woman!!!

And then there was the time someone wrote " I wish I was in Dixie " on his plane. Way back before you ever heard of him. Now thats a great story.
And I do think Hillary was do for a win. The tune up your brother always puts up, went along with a great reaction time. Sort of like in baseball , when the batters are hitting well, in the same game as the pitcher is throwing well. It usually results in a win. And it did.
