100cc. Back when they only had four classes at amateur nationals. 100's, 125A, 250A, and Open. Wonder how the promoter made any $$$ and what you would do with all the extra time left in the day. LOL.

I think the moto's were pretty long though 30 mins I recall.

Yes, Scott Hinkle took the win on a Suzuki in a sea of YZ 125's with 100cc cylinders. His brother Mark won the Open class I think. The Hinkle boys were good. Amazing to me they didn't move on to be successful pro riders.

Don't think Scott is in this picture. Must have been buried in the pack.

This one is Penrose in the Springs, I still have lots of pics from the Greeley SXs from 1983 the one off SX all the way up until the late 1990s. I quit racing the Greeley SX when E&M quit promoting it. Lots of good times.

This one is from the first Greeley SX in 1983. They only had the one and they would have been happy with 100 riders, the SRAC was laughing saying no one race a SX in a small stadium and they had 600 riders show up Cool The next year it was a 5 race SRAC series and had huge rider and fan turn out. I am sure you were probably there being from Colorado. They even had a few in Longmont.

He must have only rode the 125 in 1980. I think karl jordan rode 125 also.

Yes,I shouldn't have said he wasn't there. He could have been in the 125 class. He wasn't in the 100 class there.
