Mr. Upton assured the Board that it will be very nice. He <br />plans to make this track one of the best in the State of Florida <br />and would hope to attract national championship races which could <br />involve 600 cars and over 4 days of racing. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if the overall Parks S Recreation <br />Committee felt that this is an activity that they would like at <br />the Fairgrounds over the long haul and that this is the proper <br />location, and Commissioner Bird advised that the Committee does <br />feel this is a good clean recreational activity that can support <br />itself financially and that it does fit in with what we are <br />trying to accomplish. <br />Chairman Scurlock then asked about the lease payment, and <br />Commissioner Bird believed Mr. Upton is to pay $50 per event or <br />10% of his gross and he also agrees to pay $100 a month to <br />provide two port -a -lets.
