I think Keith was pretty brilliant. He looked at the herd(other tracks) and figured out how to exploit where they where lacking. He realized that there were a bunch of guys who were sitting and watching the feature at the end of the night and figured out that they: a)Were not Professional racers or B)New guys who needed laps.
He figured out that to those guys the feature payout was not the goal, but just racing was the goal.
In the mean time, he has also brought in possibly a 100 or more drivers to the game by taking away the pressure of having to make a show and eliminating fracturing the fragile ego's of new guys who would struggle to make the show under different circumstances.
I think a place like Danville is foolish by not offering a Friday show using the same format.
Some things can be debated like guys running there after they have gotten the skills to compete on a different level. I know that when the series was first implimented they tried to encourage guys who were winning too much to move on to other tracks. That is one of those things where it's not really anyones place to decide how someone should spend their time and money.
