So sad to hear of Clarence
So sad to hear of Clarence passing. As a kid in my early teenage years I remember Clarence always seemed to be at Hanover Raceway, either racing or spectating. He was a wonderfully kind man. I got to know Clarence and his fine son Wayne as my brother Dan and our buddies got into the racing game more and more. My condolences go out to the entire Beitz family.
