For people that seem to hate NASCAR you all sure do see to pay enough attention to it, lol.

Here you go Walt.

Those who didn't get to see him race before Clearfield paved, really missed a man that could put on one hell of a show. I saw him on more than one occasion climb out one car after winning the feature and then get into a totally different type of car and win that race too. HE was my childhood hero, I have a picture of Irv Frankhousers #3 late model with Clate in victory lane. It wasn't till near mid season that they got that car completely together and Clate took the checkers in it's debut.

Everyone who knew Clate has a great Clate Husted story and here's mine. I was with Charlie and Chucky Records at the Central Mountains car show at the Clearfield Driving Park back when they had race cars as part of the show. We were all just standing around when Clate and his crew pulled in and unloaded his car (asphalt LM). After they were done they came walking down towards us and when they were close enough Chucky says "hey there's that old man that had couldn't race on dirt anymore so he had to switch to asphalt" without missing a beat and like it was scripted, Clate says "hey there's that young kid that has to use power steering to get his car around the racetrack". I still chuckle every time I think of that day, lol.

2. I will NEVER compete against already established venues. It's not god for the drivers, fans, or the facilities involved.

Finally somebody gets it!!!

Just goes to show how mediocre open wheel racing has become in this country.
