Wet T- shirt contests @ Dingus in the 80's and been to about 90 races there since so I think I can safely say I am familiar with the event. Except for the dust, I stand by my previous statement. Why go to a race with little passing and basically a predetermined winner sans mechanical failure. So now I invite you to come to smack down in Kokomo in two weeks and open your mind to slide jobs an wheelies. Then tell me which is better.

I've been to every Smackdown, but you're comparing apples and oranges. Knoxville is not Kokomo, winged sprints are not nonwing sprints. There was plenty of passing going on and seen some great races there, 13 was wild when Schatz came from the back, last year's battle between him and Brown over the last 10 laps was wild.
I actually like nonwing better. But don't take shots at people because they're at one place and you're at another. Just enjoy the fact you're at a race at all with the way the weather has been this year.
