Blackwater 100 (1993)

[@brandysigmon9066]

I was 17 years old when I raced my 1993 KX 125 in this race. It was one of the best times of my life.

23:00 That was me. What a great time yet burnt the clutch up. Flooded the motor out crossing the river and once I got it back going, didn't make it another 1/4 mile. Thought it was all the traffic and the rocks but the clutch cover was actually leaking and lost all my fluid. Had a '92 Quadracer 250 with Fast Trekker tires on the front and Realtor tires on the rear. Works shocks, FMF pipe, FMF Ram valve, and Axcalibur axle. Now at 53 years old, I'd go back tomorrow if they'd do it again. Wow, do I miss it.

James McLamb thanks for the story. I grew up watching MudWars. What a treat it must have been!!!

[@Powerstroke2003]

Just started racing cross country this year I wish the blackwater 100 was still around I'd love to have a shot at racing in it

[@chadkennedy529]

Well literally NEVER have anything like Blackwater ever again.. I was at this race I was 10 years old.. I wish I was old enough to actually appreciate it lol.. I grew up racing district 5 motocross In Pittsburgh pa.. seeing Davey coombs so young was pretty crazy too!!

[@friendlyhelp]

I survived being one of the crazy spectator. Just spotted myself on the back of a four wheeler with 3 other people and a cooler full of beer. Best time of my life. Riding in from PA on a Harley was great but that race smh no words I'm just glad I got to be there.

I'm the nut on the Yamaha warrior at the 28:27mark my wife and still remember all the good times we had at the blackwater 100 nothing has come close to it

[@labrd41]

56:06 My son Scott 26 years ago. Good times.

I know my dad and his side of the family where at Blackwater but it was shut down before I made it back in 97. I know they destroyed a few trucks and other personal means of transportation. I like trying to see if I can spot them. I had a cousin that was part in starting up the WV wilderness 100. Still can’t believe it got shut down due to environmental not crazy partying. Every gncc race I’ve been to has a bunch of good ole boys making makeshift damns just for the action to be at their front door, only to help every rider that gets hung up. There will never be an event that can be close to Blackwater though. If it was marketed a little different, I think it could have been a Baja of the East and An All American race!! Trucks, quads, bikes an side by sides!!. Or even an all summer atv/bike/SxS destination without a doubt. I got a few Jerseys from Pro riders that I helped get back in the race, Hell, one of the Suzuki team riders I helped got the win and gave me his whole Race Uniform on year at the Wilderness water slide 100. Even was on ESPN 2 broadcast.

[@mattydsmowershop2730]

I know I’m young and this probably doesn’t mean much but why don’t we start a petition to try and get it back

[@jacob_the_honda_snake]

Yeah man i could whoop some ass with my 300ex or my 87 250x

[@brandysigmon9066]

Seeing Bob Sloan on here is crazy. He was killed at Starvation point race at Elizabeth, WV.

[@ianbresnahan1808]

[@moochkawasaki1108]

[@jacob_the_honda_snake]

I noticed that some of these bikes are rare and expensive like the tecate 4 and 89 trx 250rs

[@quaderacer]

ran this race , 25:30 in the video is me going over moon rocks on a polaris 250 . what a blast

[@JoeBobLink]

On a family ride AF the race I climb moon rocks and rt.93 on my Kawasaki 250 Mojave, I was 12 or 13 at the time

[@mopar1465]

11:46 r.i.p. Captain Russ

[@OTAlucard]

When the guy at 1 hour 10 minutes 35 seconds that spilled gas all over the ground. If you did that today you would probably get a huge fine. They say if even a bottle of oil gets spilled the fire department is supposed to contain it these days
