You wouldn't happen to have any photos from back then would you? My Dad was a regular midget racer at Armscamp. I have very few photos from then and would love to see some or get copies of some. If you happen to see any photos with a #75 midget in them I'd be very interested! He ran there from '48 to '51.
Thanks,
David.

Here is a photo from Armscamp Speedway in 1946. It was also called Hilltop for a short time. It burnt twice the last time was in the early 60s and was not rebuilt.

Sweet, sweet photo, THANKS! I would give my left butt cheek to have seen a race back then.

Devin (aka #1 Brad Kuhn Fan) and I went out there and trudged through the brush this past winter. It is still pretty much the same as old time Hoosier describes it. I came along too late to even dream of a race here. However, a friend of mine drove the ambulance there and he said that they made frequent trips to the hospital after drivers were injured. If anyone has any pictures, I also would love to see them.

Here is the original Armscamp before it burnt the first time.

Hey Checker'd Past, is that you walking toward the entrance? A classy little joint if I do say so myself. And to think it all happened in Alexandria, IN.

My name is Dave, you found the Armscamp Speedway history on my website Orestes, Indiana. I also did the website for Alexandria and the same information is located there too. I am a historian and currently writing a new version of Armscamp history and searching for information and photos. I was also an Indianapolis Motor Speedway staff photographer in the 70s and 80s.

My friend and I are going to take a trip up there sometime in the near future and maybe take a few photos.

If you head back to the track, be sure to wear shoes, socks and long pants and long sleeve shirts. Ticks are attrocious out there
