 The Mid-Hudson Civic Center opened in the 1970s. It consists of Mair Hall and the McCann Ice Arena. |
|
 After attempting indoor racing in Peekskill the previous winter, the Micro Stocks tried again in 1996 in Poughkeepsie. |
|
 It was an odd setup. The permanent seating was all retracted to allow for room to set up a race track, and spectators sat on bleachers that were set up on the stage. |
|
 During warmups, the Micro Stocks set off the smoke alarm, disrupting the youth hockey game being played across the hall in the ice arena. |

Comments: Jason Bittner: That track looked like it was way too small. |
