KoM is going to be held on Saturday February 8th 2020, the final day of the King of the Hammers. As a racer, you will get to enjoy a world class course put on by a world class team. This year's course promises to test your mental, physical, and mechanical fortitude. This whole new format will give every racer from Amateur to Pro a fun challenging day of racing. Racing will start early in the morning and continue throughout the day, promising to give spectators many viewing oportunities and times.
The Race:
The morning will start out with the Prologue based near Hammertown and will set the starting line order for the main race. The main race will start near Hammertown and loop around the mountains getting tougher as the course goes. The three lap format will provide Amateurs to Pros a challenging course that will get progressively harder as the laps go. Find the full race format details in the Race Format section of the article "What You Need to Know About KOM 2020" HERE.
GPS:
The King of the Motos course is GPS based. This year's course takes out the guesswork when using the GPS. Dangerous or possibly confusing sections will be marked accordingly. The racer MUST know how to use their GPS!!! It is another racing skill to master to be successful at KoM. GPS is necessary here in Johnson Valley due to the expanse of area being utilized! Find the full details in the GPS Section of the article "What You Need to Know About KOM 2020" HERE.
Event Registration/Classes
Registering for King of the Motos will be through the Ultra4 website. Registration will open Monday, November 25th.
Classes:
This year we are going to have four classes - Pro, Amateur, Women, and District 37. District 37 members will pick one of the three other classes to compete in in addition to District 37. The best finisher of all of the District 37 competitors (regardless of competition class) will get a separate District 37 trophy. District 37 members must provide proof of their membership on site in order to compete in this additional trophy class.
This year's race is going to be AMA, and membership is required. If you are an existing AMA member or purchase AMA membership (either annual or single-day) prior to registering online, you will receive a 10% discount on your class race fee (must put in your AMA number on registration form). AMA membership will be verified on the Lakebed by riders showing their AMA membership card. If AMA membership can not be verified, the rider will pay the 10% amount back and need to obtain AMA membership on site.
Day passes for AMA will be available for sale during registration, but it is strongly suggested to take care of this before the deadline to speed up registration.
If AMA membership is obtained after online registration or on-site, no discount will apply.
AMA Membership can be obtained HERE.
The Prologue will start in the same order of Registration/class. The Pro Class will be the first to line up and start the Prologue in order of registration. The Amateur and Women classes will follow in order of their registration.
