1953 - DEEP CREEK LAKE SPEEDWAY.
Deep Creek Lake Speedway opened in 1953 as a 1/4 mile dirt oval speedway. The track wasn't without its problem's. It has been reported that the first meeting 1,500 spectators attended, but the numbers did fall away as the meetings went on. It seemed that also the lack of ability to prepare a racey track, also saw the competitors go to other near by tracks. The track kept on trying but was forced to close in 1956.
