Inaugural Lorain County Speedway race opens 1964 season
The Lorain County Speedway kicked off the 1964 season with a dramatic program. A car flipped twice in a super modified heat but the driver walked away. Bob Smith won the feature after a hard battle with Todd Gibson and Wayne Landon. A late-model win went to Ralph Meilander in the first heat, while Doug Amstutz led the feature before losing to Smith. Multiple spins and a four-car pileup marked the afternoon as action resumed with time trials and a switch to Saturday nights May 16.
