100’s MC
Years hosting National Hare & Hound events: 10+
The 100s MC are the only numbered club in the desert. The name came from the fact that most of the members at the time rode Hodaka 100cc motorcycles. If you have ever seen the classic movie “On Any Sunday,” during the Elsinore GP race you can spot several 100s members riding Hodaka desert sleds, as they were referred to. Today, we are a vast club with members from all over Southern California, Arizona, Nevada and even Colorado. We have a reputation for holding top finishing positions in GPs, Desert Scrambles, Euro Scrambles, Hare & Hounds and Enduros. We are also known for hosting one of the best race weekends in the desert.
For the last several years, the 100’s have been hosting the last round of the AMA National Hare and Hound Series. Our race always receives rave reviews, and is consistently recognized as one of the best of the series. For our National, we always try to mix things up, some years offering a dual-race weekend, other years a tough 3-loop 100+ mile epic race. In addition, the 100’s began hosting a night race during the summer. Our night race even includes a challenging, but doable Endurocross section. Interested in becoming a member? Come on out and see us at the races!
If you have questions about 100’s MC or would like to volunteer or join the club please contact us.
Co-Sanctioned Organization: District 37
District 37 is Southern California’s premiere AMA sanctioned body for desert, grand prix, enduro and motocross racing. The official District 37 website is www.district37ama.org
The Terrain
Racers of the 100’s MC Fast Times at Johnson Valley race can expect to cross vast open valleys, dry lake beds, technical trails, rocky obstacles and fun flowing sand washes. Riders can expect dust if there is no rain fall.
Terrain In The Area
Johnson Valley is a varied landscape for the off-highway vehicle driver. It is punctuated by steep red rocky mountains, rolling hills, open valley, dry lake beds and sandy washes. Elevations range from 4,600 feet at Hartwell Hills to 2,300 feet at Melville Dry Lake. Vegetation consists of creosote scrub, annual grasses, wild flowers and Joshua Trees. Johnson Valley offers a riding opportunity for every skill level. The southeast portion of the riding area offers a large mass of hills known to the rock crawler world wide as the “Hammers.” This area is for experts and has gained the attention of off-roaders in recent years through an event called “King of the Hammers,” experts only need apply.
North of the Hammers offers a quality riding experience for novice and intermediate riders and some small dune riding experience. There are two car/truck courses for racing in the north central and western portions of the valley. Anderson Dry Lake on the western boundary of the area is used for casual riding for intermediate and novice riders. It is popular with off-roaders. The butte boasts areas with small rolling hills for the novice, rocky ridges for the more experienced riders, huge rock structures for the rock crawlers and is a poplar place for motorcycle trials events. The 96,000 acre off–highway vehicle riding area has something for every rider at every skill level. Approximately 53,000 acres of Johnson Valley is a shared-use area with the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center (MGAGCC) located in Twentynine Palms, CA.
