AWESOME! I worked for the man for three years as a pilot at his airline. He's a fascinating, extremely intelligent man, despite the fact that when he's not being interviewed every other word out of his mouth is profanity.
On one hand you have to wonder how could he possibly keep going after Scott's accident, then on the other hand you realize how could he possibly just quit and sit at home with nothing to think about other than Scott's accident. I just can't imagine the emotions he went through.
Man Connie is such a cool dude. My dad and I met him at the Vegas event several years ago before my dad died. They shared a story about when Connie raced at our track back in the 70s they showed up with all the Ford backing. And the local car put BOTH factory cars on the trailer that day
One of the best of all-time. Scott, RIP.

You know I never realized losing Mike Dunn was a big deal . NHRA should mend the fences .

Great interview.I remember Connie when I first started reading Hot Rod magazine in 59.
Guess that makes me old to.

Crazy how long he's been in the Drag Racing game AND still running his air business too
Sure miss workin' for ya, 'Rad Man'. Keep up the great work!
@ 2:41 - That’s 3 generations. Very special.

A true icon Conrad is and will always be.
Happy New Year's
Sorry for the loss of your son. I don't want to imagine the pain.
I love this guy,.... just wish he'd hire me as a pilot.
As Joe Amato said
Drag Racing keeps you young.
@looknatu2
Keep going Connie.. We all love you and Scott.. U BOTH are the stuff Legends are made of.. U both inspire me.
I like Connie Kalitta, but just had to chuckle at 2:15 when he said "...you look at it cross-eyed...".
it was cool to see Connie kalitta finally win the us nationals in 1994
