A memorial service for Scott Kalitta, NHRA's Top Fuel champion in 1994-95 who died from injuries suffered in a qualifying crash at last weekend's SuperNationals in Englishtown, N.J., will be Thursday at Ernsthausen Performing Arts Center in Norwalk, Ohio.
The Kalitta family has asked in lieu of flowers, fans contribute to two charities Scott Kalitta was very supportive of - Saint Stephen's Episcopal School and B.R.A.K.E.S., an organization that teaches youth about safe driving and acting responsible.
Donations for St. Stephen's Episcopal can be sent to the development office
at 315 41st Street West Bradenton, FL 34209. Donations to B.R.A.K.E.S can be sent in care of Doug Herbert Performance Parts at 1443 E. Gaston St. Lincolnton, NC 28092.
Team Kalitta also announced that team drivers Doug Kalitta, Hillary Will and David Grubnic will compete at this weekend's national event in Norwalk. The team also released plans for a memorial decal and t-shirt, which will be made available on the team's website . The items will also be available at national events, although the t-shirt might not be available at this weekend's event. The logo is at the top of this post.
