Since I took these pictures of the accident that took the life of Scott Kalitta, I have been agonizing over exactly what to do with them. Being a fan of drag racing, and out of respect for Scott and his family, I knew that in no way did I wish to profit from these photos.
After a lot of soul searching, and with the valued advice of friends, family, and many in the internet community, I have decided to release the photos. And here is why:
There really wasn't any photos or video of the accidents that took the lives of Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin. I think because of that perhaps there wasn't much public pressure to make the cars and tracks safer for the drivers. But then I think back to the video and images of Dale Earnhardt's fatal accident. While the existence of such images may have been painful to the family, the fact that they were in the press and in the public eye may have contributed to the attention NASCAR put into improving safety and ultimately the result has been safer cars and race tracks. Those changes have, without a doubt, saved the lives of drivers.
I hope that some similar attention might come from these photos. There is always improvements to be made to dragstrips and drag cars. They are never "safe enough". Perhaps the images of the engine explosion might help drag racing teams make improvements to the cars and perhaps tracks might make improvements to the shut-down and run-off areas.
I urge anyone who has been touched by this tragedy, or who is just a fan of motorsports, to please donate to one of these charities that were close to Scott's heart:

Randolph Scott (1898-1987) was a handsome American leading man who developed into one of Hollywood's greatest and most popular Western stars. From 1950 till 1953, he was among Hollywood's Top 10 box-office draws.
George Randolph Scott was born in 1898 to George and Lucy Crane Scott during a visit to Virginia. He was raised in Charlotte, North Carolina in a wealthy family. After service with the U.S. Army in France in World War I, he attended the Georgia Institute of Technology but, after being injured playing football, transferred to the University of North Carolina, from which he graduated with a degree in textile engineering and manufacturing. He discovered acting and went to California, where he met Howard Hughes, who obtained an audition for him for Cecil B. DeMille's Dynamite (1929), a role that went instead to Joel McCrea. He was hired to coach Gary Cooper in a Virginia dialect for The Virginian (Victor Fleming, 1929) and played a bit part in the film. Paramount scouts saw him in a play and offered him a contract. He met Cary Grant, another Paramount contract player, on the set of Hot Saturday (William A. Seiter, 1932) and the pair soon moved in together. Till 1944, they lived in a beach house known jocularly as Bachelor Hall. The close friendship between Scott and Grant and the steady stream of women into and out of Bachelor Hall fed rumor mills for years. Many believed that Grant and Scott were lovers, and the women were arranged by the film studios for public effect. He remained close friends with Grant until the day he died. When he heard of his old friend's death, he reportedly put his head in his hands and wept. He himself would die a little over 2 months afterward.
Randolph Scott married and divorced wealthy heiress Marion DuPont in the late 1930s. He moved into leading roles at Paramount, although his easy-going charm was not enough to indicate the tremendous success that would come to him later. He was a pleasant figure in comedies, dramas, and the occasional adventure, but it was not until he began focusing on Westerns in the late 1940s that he reached his greatest stardom. His screen persona altered into that of a stoic, craggy, and uncompromising figure, a tough, hard-bitten man seemingly unconnected to the light comedy lead he had been in the 1930s. He became one of the top box office stars of the 1950s and, in the Westerns of Budd Boetticher especially, a critically important figure in the Western as an art form. Following a critically acclaimed, less-heroic-than-usual role in one of the classics of the genre, Ride the High Country (Sam Peckinpah, 1962), Scott retired from films. A multimillionaire as a result of canny investments, Scott spent his remaining years playing golf and avoiding film industry affairs, stating that he didn't like publicity. In 1987, he died in Beverly Hills of heart and lung ailments. He was survived by his second wife, Patricia Stillman, and his two adopted children, Christopher and Sandra. He was interred at Elmwood Cemetery, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, just four blocks from his boyhood home at 312 W. 10th Street.

American actor Scott Brady (1924-1985) had the manly good looks and rugged appeal to make it to top stardom in Hollywood and succeeded quite well with tough-guy roles on film and TV.
Irish-American Scott Brady was born in Brooklyn in 1924 as Gerard Kenneth Tierney (called Jerry). His parents were Lawrence and Maria Tierney. His father, chief of New York's aqueduct police force, had always had show business intentions and after retiring from the force he got, through his sons, some work in print advertising. Both Scott's older and younger brothers, Lawrence Tierney and Edward Tierney went on to become actors as well. Lawrence's promising Film Noir 'bad guy' career was sabotaged by a severe drinking disorder that led to numerous skirmishes with the law. Scott himself faced a narcotics charge in 1957 (charges were dropped, Scott maintained that he was framed) and in 1963, he was involved in illegal bookmaking activities. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "Fortunately, Scott was more cool-headed and wound up avoiding the pitfalls that befell his older brother, making a very lucrative living for himself in Hollywood throughout the 1950s and early 1960s." Scott Brady grew up in Westchester County and attended Roosevelt and St. Michael's High Schools. Like his older brother Lawrence, Scott was an all-around athlete in school and earned letters for basketball, football and track and expressed early designs on becoming a football coach or radio announcer. Instead, he enlisted before graduating from high school and served as a naval aviation mechanic overseas. During his term of duty, he earned a light heavyweight boxing medal. He was discharged in 1946 and decided to head for Los Angeles where his older brother Lawrence was making encouraging strides as an actor. Toiling in menial jobs as a cabbie and day-time labourer, the handsome, blue-eyed looker was noticed having lunch in a café by producer Hal B. Wallis and offered a screen test. The test did not fare well but, not giving up, he enrolled in the Bliss-Hayden drama school under his G.I. Bill, studied acting, and managed to rid himself of his thick Brooklyn accent.
Scott Brady signed with a minor league studio, Eagle-Lion, and debuted in the poverty-row programmer In This Corner (Charles Reisner, 1948), utilising his boxing skills from his early days in the service. He showed more promise with his second and third films Canon City (Crane Wilbur, 1948) and He Walked by Night (Alfred L. Werker, 1948), the latter as a detective who aids in nabbing psychotic killer Richard Basehart. Scott switched over to higher-grade action stories for Fox and Universal over time. Westerns and crime stories would be his bread-winning genres with The Gal Who Took the West (Frederick De Cordova, 1949) opposite Yvonne De Carlo and Charles Coburn, and Undertow (William Castle, 1949), with John Russell, being prime examples. He frequently switched from hero to heavy during his peak years. In one film he would romance a Jeanne Crain in The Model and the Marriage Broker (George Cukor, 1951) or a Mitzi Gaynor in Bloodhounds of Broadway (Harmon Jones, 1952), while in the next beat Shelley Winters to a pulp in Untamed Frontier (Hugo Fregonese, 1952). A favourite pin-up hunk in his early years, he hit minor cult status as a bad hombre, The Dancin' Kid, in the offbeat Western Johnny Guitar (Nicholas Ray, 1954). He and the other manly men, however, were somewhat overshadowed in the film by the Freudian-tinged gunplay between Joan Crawford and Mercedes McCambridge. Other roles had him sturdily handling the action scenes while giving the glance over to such diverting female costars as Barbara Stanwyck, Mala Powers and Anne Bancroft.
Scott Brady would mark the same territory in TV - Westerns and crime films - finding steadier work on the smaller screen into the 1960s. He starred as the title hero in the Western series Shotgun Slade (1959). Stage too was a sporadic source of income with such productions as 'The Moon Is Blue', 'Detective Story' and 'Picnic' before making his Broadway debut as a slick card sharpie opposite Andy Griffith and Dolores Gray in the short-lived musical 'Destry Rides Again' in 1959. Scott played the villainous role Brian Donlevy played in the original. He later did the national company of the heavyweight political drama 'The Best Man' with his portrayal of a senator. The seemingly one-time confirmed bachelor decided to settle down after meeting and marrying Mary Tirony in 1967 at age 43. Prior to this, he had been linked with such luminous beauties as Gwen Verdon and Dorothy Malone. The couple had two sons: Timothy and Terence. Parts dwindled down in size in later years and he gained considerable weight as he grew older and balder, but he still appeared here and there as an occasional character heavy or hard-ass cop in less-important films such as Doctors' Wives (George Schaefer, 1971), $ (Richard Brooks, 1971) with Warren Beatty, The Loners (Sutton Roley, 1972) and Wicked, Wicked (Richard L. Bare, 1973). Minor TV roles in mini-movies also came his way at a fair pace. Towards the end, he was seen in such high-profile big-screen movies as The China Syndrome (James Bridges, 1979) and Gremlins (Joe Dante, 1984). Scott had a collapse in 1981 and was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive respiratory disease. He later relied on an oxygen tank. He died of the disease four years later and was interred at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. Scott's brother Edward Tierney became a building contractor after quitting as an actor, and Scott financed several of his projects. One of these includes the apartment building where the infamous Wonderland murders took place. According to Scott's son Tim, Scott had a falling out with brother Lawrence Tierney in the late 1960s that lasted nearly two decades. His son Terence also became an actor.

Between 1935 and 1938 the factory at Shipley in Yorkshire produced the B2592 air-cooled Aero engine, based on the Scott Flying Squirrel motorcycle unit. A 25 hp (19 kW) version was also specifically developed to power the notoriously dangerous Flying Flea aircraft.

The Scott Monument is a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott (not to be confused with the National Monument). It stands in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, opposite the Jenners department store on Princes Street and near to Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station.
The tower is 200 feet 6 inches (61.11 m) high, and has a series of viewing decks reached by a series of narrow spiral staircases giving panoramic views of central Edinburgh and its surroundings. The highest viewing deck is reached by a total of 287 steps (those who climb the steps can obtain a certificate commemorating the event). It is built from Binny sandstone quarried in nearby Ecclesmachan. This oily stone was known to attract dirt quickly and was probably a deliberate choice to allow the Gothic form to quickly obtain the patina of age. Arguably the soot of Edinburgh's chimneys, in combination with smoke from the nearby railway line and Waverley Station perhaps over-egged the result, and it is now very hard to make out the numerous carved figures. Bill Bryson has described it as looking like a "gothic rocket ship".
