NHRA as seen by the pros.

Mr. Waters,
I totally get what you are saying, but I think this guy could have easily given his "guests" the same level of comfort and still found ways to budget an extra couple grand to equip his cars with quicker stuff. For example, he could have forgone the billet aluminum golf cart wheels and put that money into making his RACECAR wheels more competitive. Afterall, sponsors pay him the big $$$$ to win races and to put their logo in front of the masses to move/sell whatever product or service they provide. Not so they can eat grilled steak at the racetrack. I do not disagree with you regarding taking care of your sponsors, but come on! Those guys are supposed to be professional racers because they are the best of the best at winning races by out performing the next guy, not because they know how to throw the best party.
