 The State Armory of Peekskill is located at 955 Washington Street. |
|
 It was built during the Great Depression, in the years 1932-1933. |
|
 In 1995, the armory was used for indoor Micro Stock racing. |
|
 The dust and dirt inside the armory cobmined with the smoke from the cars and the sun streaming through the many high windows created an eerie effect inside the building. |

Comments: Will White: Not good when a paved track is most remembered for how dirty it was. Guy Smith: Yes, a shame that is one of the first thoughts I had when recalling the race there. You were there that day too. Do you remember how dirty everything was, even the bleachers? Will White: Especially the bleachers. |
