The amateur race doesn't look too bad, but the Sunday race looks really hairy (should I qualify).

Has anyone competed in this event before? Anyone going next year?

180 amateur spots sold out in less than eight hours! Jesse Warner (McNut82's son) has qualified to move to Sunday's shenanigans a couple times. Even Saturday's action was enough to have him throwing up in his helmet.

So...you have at least watched video of this event? I've been down there twice for it, but only as a spectator. I got skeered just hiking back to the hero sections :D
 
Going to get even harder!

Lucky for those that are signing up, Geoff Aaron has been signed by Red Bull to advise and help set up the course this year. They want to make it a little tougher i guess...

...3 times. Threw up in his helmet, that is.

One of my last rides on our '11 250 Gasser before she gave up her ghost was at TKO in 2014. I finished one lap on the Saturday course. By the time I crossed the finish line, the flagman had punched out. :o
 
Sounds interesting,im on the other side of the planet but any video links?or an explanation(for the ignorant) of why/how this event works and causes such nausea!
 
2 of my riding buddies did it last year. One is a very talented technical Vet A rider, and the other rides open A. The vet rider finished 42nd in the 2nd knockout round on Sumday and said it was the hardest, most fun thing he has ever done on a dirt bike. The other guy qualified to move on to the second round of day 1 but was too whipped to go. Lol

Some video of the Vet A guy.
