On 14. August 1976, Kiss did an in-store appearance at Peaches Records & Tapes Atlanta, Georgia, while on their The Spirit of ’76/Destroyer tour. Alec Cooley and Associates, Radio Z-93, arranged a “Kiss-Off” benefit for muscular dystrophy, where Kiss and Miss Dixie Speedway sold kisses for 93 cents apiece for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. They also met fans, did photos and autographs.
“Miss Dixie Speedway” was brought to the Kiss fundraising event to offer KISSes (to the opposite sex) for 93 cents, just as Kiss was doing. And she was arranged to participate by the sponsors of the event. The woman was involved in several State racing related promotions; as per her duties as Miss Dixie Speedway.
