Think about it, The top five guys from every track trying to come out on top with other local hot shoes sticking their noses in the mix knowing they have a good chance on their home turf.
I commend KISS and the tracks for finding a way to put this on every year, I especially appreciate Haubstadts decision to run it on a Sunday on a Holiday weekend instead of diluting the Saturday night action. I appreciate Bloomington and Gas City working together not to run sprints against each other on KISS nights (Biggest car counts right there)
Other than Sprint Week and a few other shows, Every one of the KISS SHOWS is a reason for a local fan to go see the toher tracks and their racers compete with the best in the state.
Last Years KISS/MSCS show at THAT is one of my standout highlights from last year and I talk with so many people that never knew it was being held. It really was a great show and if you have Jackslash, you can still watch it but it still isn't the same as live. Had to loan my buddy JJ Hughes a jacket as he and some of his College friends dropped in to watch the show and it never got as warm as it was supposed to get. Great times 
So what I get from this is Keith Ford wants everyone to cooperate with him when he runs KISS but he doesn't want to take 2 weeks off for LPS and the burg? I dont remember him taking the week off for the burg in the past. I may be wrong but I dont think so. Gas City and Bloomington have always worked together for "the greater good" hopefully the new regime at Bloomington continues that tradition
