Monticello, Iowa (May 19, 1967) – Airview Speedway began its season Friday night with Red Droste of Waterloo picking up the feature win and completing a clean sweep for the evening.
Droste won the first heat, A-semi, and the 20-lap feature. He was a quarter of a lap ahead in both the A-semi and feature when the checkers dropped. He easily outdistanced the field with Tom Hughes of Monticello and Cal Swanson of Reinbeck having the real duel as they fought for second place money.
Swanson picked up two checkered flags for the evening, winning the second heat and the B-semi.
Ed Sanger of Waterloo, driving his new blue GTO, won the third heat, finished second in the B-semi, and was fourth in the feature.
The novice feature was won by Fred Potter over Bob Lenstra and John Martin.
