This is a press release from Tennessee Knockout…
Sequatchie, TN (August 11, 2016) – The 2016 Kenda Tennessee Knockout will include a separate Women’s class to compete on Saturday. Women entries will ride a morning qualifier race that they must complete in order to race the Women’s only, multi lap main event on a special short course in the afternoon.
The ladies will be competing for a $1,000 purse to be paid out to the top three finishers ($500, $300, $100 for first second and third respectively). In addition, the top three finishers will be invited to compete in the Sunday expert Knockout program. Two of the top female racers, Rachel Gutish and Chantelle Bykerk have earned Sunday qualifications via the Saturday Amateur program in the past so they have proven that they are capable of completing the difficult terrain.
Women riders can still enter by contacting the Trials Training Center.
The sixth annual Kenda Tennessee Knockout will take place on Saturday, August 20th and Sunday, August 21st at the Trials Training Center located in Saquatchie, Tennessee. The World’s top off-road riders are invited directly to the Sunday program. Unqualified Expert/Pro and amateur riders race on Saturday with the top finishers earning the opportunity to move on to the Sunday Expert Knockout rounds. On Sunday, riders will compete in a very tough and spectator friendly four-round Knockout racing format.
