Classic Thunder Standards

In less than three months, Classic Thunder has grown from a no name racing group to a organization that has drawn interest from people across the USA and in other countries. This recognition is due mainly to being associated with some other reputable websites that carry a high standard in the presentation in the material they offer. Classic Thunder's reputation directly effects the people and the sites that support us in and around the drag racing community. The trickle down effect that has brought us so much exposure will now be passed on down to the racers of Classic Thunder.

Appearance: As we all know, the first impression we make on someone is the one they remember. It's a form a branding and almost impossible to replace. Classic Thunder will insist that all of the CT members make every effort possible to make their car a show piece.

The following are Conditions that Do Not Meet Standards
1. Any type racing vehicle that appears to be unsafe!
2. Cleanliness
  1. Dirt, oil, dope, grease, rust. All of these reflect the amount of attention the car has received.
  2. The amount of dirt, bird do, spider webs and any other type conditions that reflect the lack of proper maintenance.
  3. Oil; Dripping oil is a safety hazard.
  4. Dirty engines from oil leaks
  5. Rear ends or transmissions leaking dope or fluid is a safety hazard for that car and the racers in the next round.
  6. Rust; chassis and headers. Rusty frames or chassis with excessive amounts of rust need to be addressed in the proper manner. Rusty headers are not acceptable.
Body & Paint
1. Race car bodies should be clean, polished to the best appearing condition they can possibly be.
2. Bodies that have cracks or pieces missing, need to be repaired and painted.
3. Paint; Some of the Classic Thunder cars have the original paint which makes them special. If the original paint job is in the process of being restored, a reasonable amount of time will be considered. Cars that do not show any effort in the restoration process will not be tolerated.
Exceptions: New cars that have not been painted or cars that suffered some type body damage in a previous race will be excluded for a reasonable time.

Sportsmanship; The members of Classic Thunder have shown the true meaning of sportsmanship time and time again. As new members join we hope they will uphold the same standard as I have witnessed in the pass.
Alcohol & Drugs
1. At no time during qualifying or eliminations will there be any alcohol consumed by anything other than racing engines.
2. Anyone observed consuming any type alcohol or drugs prior to or during the qualifying sessions or eliminations will not be allow to compete in the event. This act endangers the driver, his opponent and the spectators and will not be tolerated.

These are some of the standards that every member of Classic Thunder will abide by. These and others are a key part in the first impression that we make.
