Late night open thread

Best wishes to the family of Scott Kalitta, an NHRA drag racer who died in an accident at the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals. Scott had local ties to Ypsilanti. Scott is the son of Connie Kalitta, a legendary NHRA driver and team owner who owns Kalitta Air, an air freight company based at Willow Run Airport.

Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

Connie Kalitta was portrayed by Beau Bridges in the movie 'Heart Like a Wheel' which was a biopic about Shirley Muldowney, the first woman to become a top-fuel drag racer. Very sad about his son.
