Radiator Hose Leak!

I going to the track for the first time tomorrow and I just noticed a leak coming from the hose that connects to middle underside of that big radiator pipe that runs right in front of the engine. It looks like the leak is coming right from where the hose connects to it. The hose looks fine could it be clogged, or just a bad connection? Also can I take this hose of without radiator fluid going everywhere?

Are you referring to the lower radiator hose? You might want to drain the radiator.

I'm guessing there is a small tear in clamp area.

You know the 3" hose/pipe that is right behind the radiator itself that says engine on it that goes directly to the motor, this hose comes of the middle of the underside of that. I'm not sure if it is refered to as the lower radiator hose, it could be. I'm probably going to miss the track this weekend. My plan is to let the car sit over night tomorrow and work on it saturday. Its impossible to work in that area while the car is hot, and I'll be driving around all day tomorrow. Its a slow leak but I've got a new jug of dex prestone in the car just in case.
