1/10th Scale Electric Hydroplane Racing

 

 

 

 

 

 

34 Years of fun (1993-2026)

 

Welcome to Classic Thunder 

The first 1/10th Scale Electric Unlimited Hydroplane club in the world!

 

As pioneers of a growing 1:10 Scale electric hydro class, our goal is to continue to duplicate real unlimited hydroplane racing as closely as we can. Since our inception in 1993, we have not only tried to recreate the boats of several eras, but to encourage a spirit of fun, respectful competition and comradery within our membership.   If you'd like to find out more about Classic Thunder, what we do, how to get involved or if you simply have questions, feel free to contact us.

 

P.S.  Let's go Racin!

A Celebration of Kirk Johnson

Saturday, October 10 at 12pm

Hosted by

Come join us for a gathering of friends and family to in celebration of Kirk Johnson's life. Many of us are fortunate enough to have crossed paths with Kirk over many years because of our shared passion for hydroplanes and their history. He spent much of his life around hydroplanes of all shapes and sizes. There will be lots of stories, pictures and, of course, hydroplanes. Lunch will be provided and all are welcome to attend. We'd love to see you there!

*********************************************

Club events will align with general standards for outdoor activities currently set in our state. Members may participate with optional masking until further notice. Please respect the personal space and preferences of others, without judgment. Note: We still want to be responsible with our health and the health of others. We ask that you do not attend CT events if you are sick, or have symptoms of any illness, thank you.
