I just received a phone call letting me know that we lost Mike Clayton today. Mike is gone, way too young and I know he loved being a part of helping Wall Stadium return to racing again. I just know that he and Lou are up there hoisting a few cold ones. RIP Mike you will be greatly missed.
We'll post more info as we receive it.

Mikes gf Laura asked me to forward along this posting to here.....
"Times are tough. We all know that. We have lost a great friend. Mike Clayton helped a lot of people and never asked for much in return. Mike was well on his way to getting back on his feet. We all enjoyed him as friend, a competitor, your car letterer, and to some of you, simply his great posts here on this Board. This is when Mike and his family need help. Burial fees are astronomical. Young people generally do not have a plan in place for this day. Donations will be needed to help our friend. I spoke with his Mother today and the details are being sorted out. When I know more, you will know. Please think about what you can give. I will let you know how to donate. As always THANK YOU !!!!"
If anyone here wants to contact her she can be reached at red38dj88 (at) aol (dot) com
I will pass along information as it becomes available to me.. Thanks
