Default KOTS Oct 1st!!

I wait for KOTS all year and its finally back up again in just about a month. Anyone going? If anyone doesn't know what KOTS stands for it is King of The Streets and its a big drag tournament held at US41 Dragway where the fastest street cars in the midwest (basically 8.5 or quicker) run for a big pot. There are also bikes!! It's always an awesome event.

quick cliffnotes
the first date at US41 got rained out... everyone had there opinion that they should have or shouldn't have raced that day.
the next date was set up for a thursday @ US41 without spectators, there was really no reason given why they wouldn't have spectators.
then a day or two before the event thay announced it would be at GLD with spectators allowed.
Im not sure what the reason is they switched tracks was two days before the event it all just seemed weird to me
