GREENBRIER RACEWAY’S  
THUNDERJET CHALLENGE



    Welcome to Greenbrier Raceway, home of the annual "THUNDERJET CHALLENGE".
    As the name implies, Greenbrier's Thunderjet Challenge is just that... an Aurora Thunderjet style race using 95% Box Stock T-Jets. Some after market replacement parts are allowed, but in general all cars are to be in #7 condition or better.
    Being a mini-enduro, many 'enduro' style regulations are enforced... such as no lap corrections, no track calls, and all maintenance to vehicles allowed ONLY under 'Green' (driver's race time). The race itself consists of two separate halves, or rounds. Round 1 is usually considered qualifying, as only the top eight racers from Round 1 will be entered into the second half... or Main.

***Collectors/Dealers***
This race is open for trading & selling. See details at the bottom
of the the race rules page.

the pits, around the pond, and past the infield garages
