Neither of us would do it if we didn't love it. At times I ask myself is it worth it, all I can say is ,HELL YAAA !

Re: Knoxville Nationals WITHOUT wings?
 

I would love to see the Smackdown grown into a comparable event. I think if there is gonna be a nonwing equivalent of the K'ville Nat's it would have to be in Indiana.

Re: Knoxville Nationals WITHOUT wings?
 

I would love to see Knoxville yank the wings. Same purse, same format! I love both wing and non'wing on same level, but in my opinion due to experience at Knoxville alone you would see a repeat of the Mopar Million. 2 wing guys standing in victory lane with the 2 biggest checks!
