If I remember correctly...her son was still really young and getting into working the crew.....I think Connie was still just a friend and fellow racer at the time...Connie's brother (I believe it was his brother) owned a welding tank supply business locally...his name was Doug...not sure what relation Doug Kalitta the current driver is to Connie / son, nephew/ but isn't Connie's brother...he's too young to be Connie's brother....anyway, was way cool for a 16 year old drag racing fan to have a actual speaking relationship with famous drag racers...even if it was putting gas into the haulers...lol..some of the photos and signatures i got were victims of my first wifes arson attempts.... along with tons of other things....Connie was always kind of gruff...didn't talk much..at least to me...lol... not sure when they moved from the Mt. Clemens area..he still had his flying service out of the Detroit city airport at the time....now he has his business in Oscoda Mi. at the old Wurtsmith AFB.....huge place....

Hey Sarge, neat to hear your story about the Kalitta's. I was Doug's (jr) crew chief and engine builder during his USAC career 1990-97. He is indeed Connies nephew and has a major role in running the airline. Doug Sr passed away a few years ago and was still in Mt Clemens. Connie is in Belleville and the airline is based at Willow Run with a maintenance facility in Oscoda, and several other places. Connie does come off as a fairly gruff guy but he was great to work for. Very honest, straight forward and caring. My sister has worked for him since 1988. BTW, I have some Kalitta pictures posted in the midget thread.

That's got to be one of the best applications of selective color editing I've seen. Doesn't hurt when there's something beautiful in the shot! Oh yeah, and the model looks pretty good too...

Yes, that is one of the best I have seen.
