If there are any silver linings about this time of no racing, this time of not much leaving the house, and general stillness it is the fact that people are finding lots of interesting ways and stuff to keep each other entertained. If you love drag racing and if you love the history of the sport, you owe it to yourselves to listen to this. This has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the guy I talked to and recorded for an hour. This one hour conversation with Connie Kalitta is wide open, honest, and revealing as hell. He talks life, business, drag racing, history, being a bad ass, being a dad, and everything else in between.

You are going to learn about how Connie takes care of business and how he took his humble beginnings of drag racing and turned them into a business empire that makes most medium sized companies look piddling.

The backstory here is that in 2018 I sat down with Connie to make this long form interview for a story I was trying to get the print magazine world to run. Unfortunately, things being as they were then and as they are now, that opportunity never came to pass. Fortunately, I saved the audio all this time and with the advent of the podcasting platform it only made sense to run the interview’s auto track uncut.

You’ll learn more about Connie in an hour than you likely have in a very, very long time.
