Knoxville Nationals do an 8 invert for the heats on the prelim nights. Makes for some excitement & a few big guys going to the b main or worse. It was a full invert of 10 for a long number of years. Depth of quality equipment makes 10 really hard to pull off these days. Years ago a guy like Kinser would start 10th & have the lead by lap 2 as there was so much disparity in equipment.
