Disputes
Any biker is passionate about his or her machine. At times, disputes can arise regarding the subjective opinion of the sole judge. CMT’s assigned judge, Dick Cartier, strives to remind all the entrants that the event is for pleasure and fun of spending a day among friends, beautiful bikes and all that is at Catskill Mountain Thunder. In the case of a dispute, the final determination lies with the sole judge.
