A friend of mine drove the ambulance back in the days of Armscamp Speedway. He said that it was a fun track but with the lack of roll cages also a very dangerous one. He said that many nights they made multiple runs to the hospital in Anderson. He said that it was "the" place to be on race night. A lot of big names apparently raced there.

A couple of years ago I went back behind the truck dock and sure enough you can still see the outline of the track. You need to go while the weeds are down so you don't have to wade through the brush.
