Wow! I couldn't go that fast on a 450F. :(
Wasn't he YZ100 Motocross Action's overall bike of the year back in 1982?

That's one very angry bunch of bees......

Shame we dont like that kind of fun in Aus.

That is straight up awesome.
Small bore 2t :)

Love that. 2000 rpm then 20000 rpm & nothing between.

aahhhh the carnage of mid pack

Back in 90's a few of us tried to gain support for a 125 class that really excluded the eslinore or European 125 class to hopefully build it up to be something like the class featured above. Shame it never took off as it looks like fun.

YOU ON A 125?

Great track.

I'm not at all surprised at the performance of the little YZ100 J,K, or L model (all the same bike for three years).
I can recall at Waaia (Shepparton) lapping 125's in practice , you just had to keep it on the gas use plenty of clutch, more so with a ported barrel because it didn't take much for it to fall of the pipe.
Short circuit (oiled track) we some times had combined 100 and 125cc races on club days and if you got the best possible jump out of the gate then you could drag race a 125 to the first turn and then the rest was up to you to just ride the wheels off it if you were looking to finish in the top 3.
December 2006 was the last ride day at the Waaia track as the gates were to be shut for the very last time since being opened in 1978.
Having owned a YZ100L (84) from new I decided to get the old girl out along with all my old rat gear and take it for one of it's last ever rides, it had been I think 15 years since it was last ever ridden.
Well the first thing to hit be was the absolute lack of bottom end, no brakes and butter soft suspension, so after a couple of laps on this moist red sandy track I was surprised at how well this bike still pulled for a 100cc after all those years and just the amount of speed you could carry through the corners and the ruts made it a heap of fun to ride......
So good on Doug Dubach and the little YZ100 for showing us what there both made of. :)

My 100-J. I'd sit in the garage and gaze at it. I loved it so much ... heaps of
fun to ride. The poor little thing could barely manage a mono in first gear. One unreal blessing
was that the tanks stickers never came off.

I had to absolutely cane the arse off it to get anywhere at all. Which is what made it such
sensational fun to ride. Check that rice pudding roost. I can still see my girlfriend rolling her
eyes with tedium, after I dragged her out there to take the pix

Dougs ride was impressive but he seemed to have a few riders up his arse at the finish, would have been a good race to watch.

The other riders were Guy Cooper (1990 US 125 champ)and Scott Burnsworth ( factory Yamaha and Suzuki )
Best racing you could ever watch back in the day was Guy Cooper in 2nd place
That 100cc Marty Tripes series is primarily in California. The rest of the county will have maybe 3 100cc bikes on a gate. Can't say why a 100 class would take off so big. I would think a 125 class would be bigger as they are easier to find.

I got to race DD's on a bad arse Super Rat the first year AHRMA created their hunerd class. Full gates and the sweetest track. Awesome party...... and they even race old bikes there.
