ing,” AMA Off-Road Racing Manager Erek Kudla said. “The nine qualifying events
bring extreme off-road competition to regions across the nation, and we wel-
come back several events to the qualifier schedule that did a great job serving as
AMA State Championships in 2019.”
Riders can secure starting spots in the Saturday afternoon TKO 2 race based
on their participation at any of the qualifying events. The top 10 finishers in each
event move directly to the TKO 2 competition.
Additionally, the top three riders from each qualifying series -- who are not on
the “invited riders” list -- skip Saturday’s TKO 1 and TKO 2 competitions and com-
pete against the world’s best extreme off-road riders in the Sunday pro races.
“When we started the Tennessee Knockout event in 2011, there were just a few
extreme off-road racing events taking place,” event organizer Eric Peronnard said.
“Now, as we prepare for the tenth edition of the TKO, it’s great to see the popu-
larity of these types of events growing. We are proud to be the host event for the
AMA Extreme Off-Road Grand Championship.”
