Kalitta Roast

[Billy]

Any maters going? I wish I was going to be in Indy this year, then I would DEFINITELY go.

Any guesses on the surprise guest? It would be awesome if it was Shirley - now THAT would be a ROAST!!

Uhh, no... that would be a nuclear holocaust.....

I forgot about this, when/where is it

I really wish my Dad and I were going to this. If you want to get technical, Connie's actually been racing more like 55 or 56 years. Dad, Conrad, Doug Sr. and a couple other gear head 15 year olds would all pile in one car and cruise Gratiot & Woodward then go out to Motor City Dragway.

I wouldn't bet against it being Shirley.

Ill bet the house and farm its not!!! After Scott dies she contacted Connie for condolences and said that she would never talk to Connie again!!!

Maybe its Jeff Bridges. The Guy who played him in Shirleys Movie

WOW Chris, Woodward & Motor City Dragway !!! Yer bringin back the days of yester-year. Now where's that kleenex box,

I'ld love to see it, been a KALITA fan for 45+ yrs. But by now I'm sure it's a sell-out.

that was Beau Bridges

That'd be worth the price of admission ten fold

Sorry Mike I knew it was one of those Bridges...

 

[MM]

Sorry Mike I knew it was one of those Bridges...

well i can understand the confusion.....i mean all of those Bridges boys bear such a striking resemblance to Connie

 

[BaldyLochs]

I would think it will be highlighted in some portion of the JFRTV broadcasts.
Don't forget too, this is Jeff Arend's 1-year anniversary of driving for Connie. He's officially over the non-win hump now; would be cool to see him take Scott's car some rounds.

Maybe the mystery guest will be the desk clerk conrad punched out at the hotel from Indy 1985. Or it could be the off duty cop that wrestled him to the ground right after???

Oh, the memories

I think I remember that--didnt they announce over the loud speakers for anyone witnessing the confrontation to please contact Connie?

 

[Ma Green]

...or the hotel manager in Texas he punched out, or perhaps former crew guys who helped spirit him out of places after incidents. The list goes on for days. Jim O does a great impression. Wish I could be there.

 

[BaldyLochs]

LOL Pat, that's awesome. Now don't forget - for as many crazy racing stories there are out there, there's probably twice as many flying stories! A Blow up doll in the cockpit? Forcing Air Force One into a holding pattern? Coasting to a stop on the ramp in Ohio with both engines fuel-starved, with Larry Morgan onboard?? LOL Connie, I love ya!
