William, any person that is a CEO of a major corporation whose company is shelling out millions of dollars in sponsorship dollars typically makes close to a million dollars (or more) a year in salary or compensation. People in those circles are accustomed to being pampered and wined and dined, and as Whit pointed out, a drag racing venue that has dirt or grass parking lots and no skyboxes with comfortable seating for viewing along with catered food and drink will not make the grade for a corporate sponsor. I am not endorsing that lifestyle and in many ways I find it detestable, but it is what it is. As Whit stated, Bruton Smith tracks are built with corporate types in mind, whereas a track like Firebird in Phoenix and probably many others on the circuit don't cut the mustard. Gainesville, my closest track, used to be in that category until about 2-3 years ago when they upgraded things like adding skyboxes and upgrading the tower but there is still more to do like upgrading the restroom facilities. I used to think Gainesville was a really nice facility until I traveled to Bristol, one of Bruton Smith's tracks, and attended the Thunder Valley Nationals and I had a whole new perspective on how a drag strip could be built. It was first class in every respect. I still enjoy the Gatornationals at Gainesville, but Bristol was a whole different experience and this year I plan to attend Bruton's newest drag strip in Charlotte, NC to see the Bellagio of drag strip venues.
