Clive Featherby

Birthdate: 14th January 1961

Hometown:
Born in the UK but left when 13 in a small town called Rushall in Norfolk, first ever place I lived in Australia was Brisbane almost 30 years ago.

Years involved with monster trucks:
Has been driving on and off for 6 years

Married/Children:
Six children from four marriages divorced again now but still very good friends with Tracey.

Hobbies:
None really I work over 80 hours every week so don't have time for them, do love travelling and visiting national parks.

Favourite type of music:
Really loud, love Bullet for my Valentine and early Linkin Park stuff

Favourite monster truck:
Thunda of course and overseas would probably be Bounty Hunter and Jurassic attack.

Favourite place to race or travel on tour:
Favourite Venue would have to be the Ekka in Brisbane for atmosphere and Cairns for the area, the people in Darwin were also really fantastic, worst would have to be all the red tape at Members Equity stadium in Perth, overseas just being a spectator at Sam Boyd Las Vegas is a experience every monster truck fan should encounter at least once every year for the rest of their lifetime its like watching something from a future world.

Favourite Food:
I really love eating and love all foods but really its al the basics like savoury mince, roasts, cheese and tomato rolls on crusty bread and the big steaks at the Africa Restaurant in Tamworth.

What did you do before monster trucks?
Trucks I ran KC's Fireworks for the past 20 years as well as being a speedway promoter for many years starting when I was just 21 in fact this year at Coffs Harbour I had a man come up to me and say that he went to one of my speedway shows at Redcliffe showgrounds 25 YEARS ago, makes me feel really ancient.

Career Highlights:
Seeing my two sons driving at Toowoomba was really special especially when all three of us came up onto the same pack of cars in the train, was really proud of them, I really don't have any real special achievements, I am just happy if we get through a show unscathed and the people have truly had a good night, its a special feeling to see hundreds of families walking out after the show laughing and talking about the great parts of the night.

Favourite TV Show?
Don't watch much bar the rotten weather channel to tell me we are about to get wet at our show yet again, don't mind watching the late news, used to like the top 40 on rage until the dills changed the format and years ago watched parts of a war series called band of brothers that I thought was fairly special.

Favourite Movie?
I'm a real softie with movies, Hugh Grant Love Actually, Robin Williams Hook and a old move Heart and souls that really got the tears going, quite liked the Rocky movies, absolutely hate scary movies and drawn out thrillers, basically like happy movies, Cars is also cool.
