Proposed Salina Speedway Wins First Lap
Salina (AP)
The Saline County Planning Commission has approved a permit needed to reopen the Salina Speedway to auto racing.
The commission voted Monday to issue a conditional use permit to Topeka businessman Tommy Hendrickson and track owner Chuck Fairchild. The track closed in 2006 after operating nearly continously since opening in 1969. It is on 38 acres near the Salina Municipal Airport.
Hendrickson told the commission that he's heard a lot of support for reopening the track. No one spoke in opposition at Monday's meeting. The application is only for auto racing. Hendrickson says racing would occur mostly on Friday from April to October.
The more to the story in the Salina Journal.

This must be such a shock it made the McPherson paper. No opposition for a racetrack to open or reopen. It sounds like one commissioner thought it was funny no one in opposition. New bleachers and buildings. I hear they are already working at the track. Hopefully they can redesign the entry and exit to the pits.

I went to Salina Speedway a lot in the 70's. Refresh my memory.
