Went to the ASCS show at Salina on Friday because I had been to the WoO show there last year and liked the track. It's fun to go to the races at a place that "gets it." When we arrived, the ticket window line was long so an employee jumped out and started working that line with cash-only sales. We got right in.

Inside, we encountered a friendly and efficient concessions staff and perhaps the cleanest restrooms I've ever seen at an Oklahoma track.

Then, the races ended at 10 a.m., (partly because the support class was small). There was a short intermission, but none of that ridiculous hour-long stuff designed only to bilk the paying customer out of more concessions money. The folks at Salina gave us a great racing experience, then got us back on the road at a reasonable hour.

The ASCS National Tour is back at Salina two more times. If this is the kind of treatment I can expect as a fan, I'll be back. We gripe on here a lot when we encounter things we don't like. I figued it was only right that we applaud when a place gets it right.

Yes it was a bit perfect. Where were you Kenny? I sat on top row kinda right behind the flagstand.

The slide jobs that occured in the feature both up front, middle and back of the pack were something else. Loved it, absolutely loved it.

And not to mention that crowd was huge as well.

We were there a little over a week ago and have to agree 100%. It was a great experience for us, so much so that my wife was impressed! She is not nearly the race fan I am so she doesn't enjoy the races very often but she loved Salina. There was a ton of support cars there when the USMTS guys were there and we still left by 11, and considering some of these tracks lately, that ain't bad.

Aside from how great our experience was with the facility itself and the people who ran it, the racing was phenomenal!!! My wife has only been that excited about a race one other time as long as I have known her and that was for the midget show at Cowtown 2 or 3 years ago. She said it was absolutely, far and away the BEST race she had ever seen. I have seen alot of great shows and I would have to put that one #1 in my book as well.

So thanks again to the folks at Salina. It is a long drive for me and mine but we will be back as often as possible, I will not miss another USMTS show there ever again if I can help it!

Can I change my name to ModifiedFanRob?
