Nick England provided these first 2 photos, including a shot of his Mercury outboard motor powered H-Mod Sports Racer that participated in a race at ARP in the late in October 1966. He's looking for info and pictures of this car. Austin 10/8/1966. Some formula cars in the ARP paddock. The pink car in the background is Hugh Grammer's Beach Mk4B sports racer. I hope these two paddock photos are the beginning of an onslaught of information on ARP.

These two photos were provided by Phil Gerrow, an Austin import car repair guy that raced extensively at ARP and Green Valley. This photo shows him driving a Sunbeam Imp around Green Valley. I'll replace it with an ARP shot....as soon as I get some more. Please help! Phil Gerrow in the "Pit Stop" Imp, leading a Mini, VW Bug and a Renault through the staging lanes onto the front straight. This picture would have been taken from the locally famous Oil Derrick that was relocated to the track, and served as race central. Phil operates an auto repair shop in Austin called International Motors.

Wayne Hill was working corners at ARP in the late 60's. He now takes and sells race photos at SCCA and CVAR events. He sent this pictures of a TR3A on Riverside Drive during the River City Races held in conjunction with AquaFest. We can set up a page for the RCRR as well, send me your stuff. Phil Gerrow saved this Driver Pass from an SCCA event at ARP. The course was run clockwise only. Spectators entered the track from Bratton Lane, and drove past the paddock and made a left running right next to the track to get to the parking lot and stands.
