The Blackwater 100 was a GNCC race that was first raced in 1975 and was last raced in 1993. Dave Coombs Sr. started the race which took place in the small town of Davis, West Virginia.

The name "Blackwater" comes from nearby Blackwater falls and 100 for the number of miles in the race. The Blackwater was known as "America's Toughest Race"," The Indy 500 of off-road racing" or "The Father's Day Massacre" due to its rugged terrain and other obstacles.

The infamous Route 93 stream crossing. It was a near vertical assault on muddy clay banks and it was even worse when it was raining. The fans would form a human wall on the top of the banks and would catch bikes and ATVs when the riders could not make it all the way up the bank, these fans became known as the "Mud Fleas". Year after year, the fans became more rambunctious. They were in the parking lot mud bogging with dune buggies and 4-wheelers. They would also splash water on the riders as they went through the river crossings. In the 1993 event Dave Coombs said that the party at the race was "an insane asylum, and the patients are running it" he also referred to the campground as "Derelict Drive". After the 1993 event, a study found that e-coli levels in nearby creeks and rivers had risen to unhealthy levels. The local power company, whose land encompassed much of the track did not want an e-coli outbreak on their property. Once this private land was no longer available the legendary race was history. Photos, videos, memories and scars is what remains today.
