Danny Clark - Inducted 2003

Danny Clark dominated the Lehigh Valley Velodrome the way few riders have. The Rider of the Year title was not in existence from 1979 through 1981, but if it were, Clark would have earned three straight titles. He did win three straight world keirin titles from 1979 through 1981. His presence provided a true international flavor at the then young track. He was a fan favorite, especially with the ladies. His success here helped foster a strong connection for other Australian cyclists looking to make a living during the winter months “Down Under.” Legions of cyclists from Australia and New Zealand have been making “T-town” their summer home ever since Clark exhibited his world championship rainbow jerseys here.
