Who got the concessions?

Lota times, it seems these deals you gota have the facility provided staff...running the concessions, the gates, parking, security, somebody cleaning the bathroom (lota times with their radio on, disgusting candy dish, pot for money, etc...lol). If any of that was true in this case, I hope those wages are part of the 5g...(I haven't been to THAT since the mid-2000s; when they used to run the Hut 100 at night in September - they did. So I do not know if they had any of any of this).
A local paved track owner down here was charging a promoter $10G per night, plus a cut of the concessions. The price was apparently non-negotiable. That promoter just couldn't afford to keep racing. The owner also has a 1/8 mile drag strip on the property and that is where he makes his money. A new promoter has now taken over. Not sure what his deal is.
