Knockout Date Confirmed
T
he 13th annual Red Bull
Tennessee Knockout
(TKO) has been confirmed
for August 18-20, 2023, at the
Trials Training Center. It will
again serve as the AMA Grand
Championship for Extreme
Off-Road and is expected to
attract the top North Ameri
-
can and International Hard
Enduro racers.
Entries will open on Wednes
-
day, January 18, at 6 PM Cen-
tral Time. The entry fee will be
$100 (this includes a transpon-
der rental fee) for participants
that enter before March 31. The

Amateur riders can enter at
this link starting 6 PM Central
Time on January 18, 2023.
A separate link will be sent
directly to the pre-qualified Ama

teur and Pro riders.
The racing format will be like
past years with a Prologue on Fri-
day to set amateur racer starting
positions followed by two rounds
of amateur racing on Saturday
and a multi round Sunday com-
petition for the pro riders, which
will include the top thirty finishers
from Saturday. The ECR eMoto
electric motorcycle class that
was a huge success in 2022 will
be back and a few other exiting
ideas are being developed.
TKO will again pre-qualify the
top riders to the multi-round
Sunday competition. This will
include top riders from major U.S.
and international off-road racing
series and events. Any rider that
finished in the top 35 on Sunday
at the 2022 TKO, as well as riders
that have qualified for a previous
TKO Sunday main event, will be
qualified directly into the 2023
TKO Sunday program.
The Saturday program will
include two rounds of racing and
will serve as the AMA Extreme
Off-Road Grand Championship
for Amateur riders. The overall
Amateur winner will be awarded
the AMA Extreme Off-Road Grand
Championship number-one plate.
Classes will be available for A,
B, C, Women Pro, Women Ama
-
teur, 45+, Youth and eMoto. The
top 50 amateur finishers from
the 2022 TKO will earn a spot
directly into Saturday round two.
Amateur riders will also be able
to earn spots directly into round
two via several AMA Hard Enduro
regional championship events.
Riders that do not qualify via one
of the AMA regional events can
sign up for one of 500 open spots
that will compete in a morning
qualifying race that can earn a
spot in the championship final
on Saturday. The top 30 finishers
from Saturday will be invited to
Sunday's expert program.
