My husband worked for Connie Kalitta for a few years and talked with him many times. Connie was more interested in talking about current times with his Top Fuel team than the "good old days." But he had some good stories to tell.

Conrad was well known for his off track "exploits".

I was at Indy on a Saturday morning not too long before Connie retired from driving himself. Around 10am they made a call from the tower: "If anyone can verify the whereabouts of Connie Kalitta last night please come to the tower ASAP!".

Never did hear what it was about.

Biggest dink I ever talked to? Bill Jenkins when he was sober. Buddy of mine was at a dinner with him when he had been served a few and said he was absolutely hilarious then.
