Default Re: What caused V. Gaines to crash @ Carolina Nats?

I don't understand why Bruton (think his son actually runs the complex at Charlotte) doesn't run the track more often. They haven't even hosted a Divisional the last couple of years. While across the highway from CMS which hosts many events there is plenty of room for segregating the fans/parking and get plenty of crossover fans at the same time. Bruton's Bristol facility is similar (on a smaller scale) and they run a regular bracket program and several special events (Super Chevy, MOPAR, Spring Fling, etc). The facility at Concord is really outstanding, just have to manage the drag strip and they wouldn't have any issues. They could run a regular bracket program, barely break even or lose money and still be money ahead when you consider the fans they lost due to this fiasco.
