2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Special Recognition: Wayne Ge**er

We’ve spent the last several days introducing some of the incredible drivers joining us for this year’s Halloween Classic. But there’s one more name that deserves a little recognition, even if he won’t be behind the wheel this weekend.

The man, the myth, the guy who somehow ended up responsible for absolutely everything. Wayne Ge**er!

Wayne and his family have been involved in RC racing since 1979. That’s 47 years of racing, wrenching, organizing, and probably wondering why he ever got involved in this crazy hobby in the first place.

When NORCAR needed a new home, Wayne and Travis stepped up and opened W&T RC Hobby, giving our racing community a place to keep doing what we love.

Since then, Wayne has worn just about every hat imaginable. Hobby shop owner, track operator, race director, announcer, maintenance crew, and occasional therapist for racers convinced their car was perfect until the last qualifier.

And somewhere along the way, Wayne has repeatedly put his own racing aside to make sure everyone else gets to enjoy theirs.

This weekend will be no different. While the rest of us are busy chasing lap times, arguing about setup changes, and finding creative ways to miss our qualifying heats, Wayne will be behind the microphone keeping the show moving.

And after nearly five decades in this hobby, we’re pretty sure he’s heard every excuse imaginable. So if your car suddenly loses steering, your transponder stops working, or you swear somebody took you out, just know Wayne has probably heard it before.

All jokes aside, events like the Halloween Classic don’t happen without people willing to put in the time, effort, and sacrifice behind the scenes. Wayne has done exactly that, and then some.

He may not be taking home a trophy this weekend, but he’s a big part of the reason the rest of us have the opportunity to compete for one.

From all of us, thank you, Wayne. (Travis, Nana and Tina too!)

And now, get back on the mic. We’ve got races to run!

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed is a big one: Dwight Smith

From Google;

Some drivers have been racing the Halloween Classic for years. Our next confirmed driver has been around since the very beginning. And we mean the VERY beginning.

We’re turning back the clock 38 years to welcome back a piece of Halloween Classic history, the one and only Dwight Smith!

All the way back in 1988, when the first-ever Halloween Classic took place at Alcar International Speedway in Avon Lake, Ohio, Dwight claimed the 1/12th Stock win, earning his place in the event’s history books. In fact, historical records show Dwight was even helping with technical inspection at that inaugural event!

Apparently, racing little cars wasn’t quite enough excitement for Dwight, because somewhere along the way he decided to graduate to the real thing.

After spending time behind the wheel of full-size race cars, Dwight is taking a break from the big horsepower to return to the black carpet at NORCAR RC Raceway.

Now, a few things have changed since 1988. Batteries have gotten better, radios have gotten smarter, and the cars are a whole lot faster. But we’re willing to bet Dwight still remembers a thing or two about finding his way around a racetrack.

Will 38 years of Halloween Classic history come full circle with another trip to victory lane? We’ll find out this weekend!

Give a huge welcome back to one of the originals, Dwight Smith!

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed: Ron Mick!

From Google;

Have a question about RC racing? Need help with your setup? Trying to figure out why your car suddenly has no steering?

Don’t worry. Ron Mick probably knows the answer.

Our next confirmed driver is another longtime staple of NORCAR RC Raceway, the one and only Ron Mick!

Known around the pits as NORCAR’s unofficial encyclopedia of absolutely everything, Ron has built a reputation for knowing a little something about just about anything. Suspension geometry? Ask Ron. Electronics? Ask Ron. Rulebook specifics? Ask Ron.

And on the rare occasion Ron doesn’t know the answer, don’t worry. He knows a guy, a website, or a 14-year-old forum thread that does. In fact, if Google doesn’t know the answer, Ron probably will.

But don’t let all that knowledge fool you. Ron isn’t just the guy to ask when your car isn’t working. He’s also a serious competitor with the results to prove it.

At many of our Halloween Classics, you’ll find Ron somewhere on the podium. He’s been a proven threat in rubber-tire classes from VTA to F1, and he currently helps lead the conversation on World GT-R rules and development, proving his knowledge extends well beyond his own pit table.

Whether he’s chasing another Halloween Classic victory, helping a fellow racer find a few tenths, or explaining something you didn’t even realize you needed to know, Ron is one of those guys who makes the racing community better.

And if you disagree with anything we’ve written here, don’t bother correcting us.

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed: Kyle Witherspoon!

From Google;

Hide your wives, hide your girlfriends, because some serious muscle is officially locked in for the Halloween Classic at NORCAR RC Raceway!

Our next confirmed driver is local 1/12th scale powerhouse Kyle Witherspoon, and we’re not entirely sure whether he’s coming to race or just intimidate the competition with his biceps.

When Kyle isn’t throwing around weights at the gym, he’s throwing down some seriously fast laps on the carpet. And unlike most gym bros, this guy has the racing résumé to back up all that flexing.

With an impressive 6th-place A-Main finish at the 2026 Canadian On-Road Nationals in 1/12th Super Stock, a victory at the 2025 Summer Slam, and a GT12 championship at a recent Halloween Classic, Kyle has proven he’s just as comfortable collecting trophies as he is collecting gains.

In fact, racing records credit Kyle with more than 160 podium finishes and 60 victories over his career. Apparently, the only thing he lifts more often than dumbbells is racing hardware.

Whether he’s chasing another Halloween Classic title, setting blistering lap times, or just casually making the rest of the pit area reconsider their gym memberships, one thing is certain: Kyle is coming in strong!

11/04/2026

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed: Andrew Ellis

From Google;

No, not Drew Ellis. ANDREW Ellis.

Our next confirmed driver is one of the rising talents in the carpet racing scene, Andrew Ellis! Although many of you may know him better as simply “Drew Ellis’s kid.”

Rumor has it that a younger Andrew was once overheard at the racetrack asking, “Don’t you know who my dad is?” Well, Andrew, we certainly do. But these days, people are starting to figure out who YOU are, too!

And for good reason. Andrew has made some serious strides in the 25.5 Touring Car and LMH classes over the past year, proving that the apple apparently doesn’t fall too far from the racing tree.

With a victory in LMH and a runner-up finish in 25.5 TC at the 2026 HUDY Series at RCCA, a 3rd-place finish in 25.5 Stock TC at NORCAR's summer HUDY Series event, an impressive 8th overall in LMH at the ROAR Carpet Nationals, and a 4th-place finish at the most recent NYGP, Andrew is quickly establishing himself as a legitimate threat on the carpet.

With another Halloween Classic on the horizon, Andrew will be looking to continue that momentum and perhaps add another trophy to the Ellis family collection.

And while we’re sure Drew is proud of his son’s progress, we’re equally sure Andrew would appreciate it if everyone could finally stop introducing him as Drew’s kid.

Sorry, Andrew. Maybe next year.

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed: Patrick Barber!

From Google;
Some drivers come and go. Some become regulars. And then there are those who have been around so long that they’re practically part of the building.

Our next confirmed driver is a longtime NORCAR legend, the one and only Pat Barber!

Pat has been turning laps on Ohio carpet for longer than I’m sure he wants us sharing, building a reputation as a fierce competitor who wasn’t always the easiest guy to get around on race day. Let’s just say if you wanted to make a pass on Pat, you’d better have a pretty convincing argument.

We attempted to research Pat’s racing accomplishments, but somewhere between the countless A-Main appearances, podium finishes, and years of racing history, Google apparently gave up and requested a coffee break. While an official trophy count remains unavailable, we can confirm that Pat was still collecting podium finishes and dominating classes at the Halloween Classic as recently as 2024.

He’s seen tracks change, classes come and go, and enough racing technology to fill a museum. But one thing hasn’t changed: Pat knows his way around a racetrack!

11/04/2026

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed: Andy Brooks!

From Google;

In a rather unfortunate turn of events, we’ve discovered that the guy responsible for writing these driver announcements has also entered the Halloween Classic at NORCAR RC Raceway.

Making the grueling 10-minute journey from “up the road”, Andy will be taking a much-needed break from counting screws, packing orders, and convincing people that titanium hardware makes their cars faster to grace us with his presence on the black carpet.

As the man behind Sortafast Industries, Andy has spent countless hours helping racers shave precious grams off their cars, while somehow still searching for a way to shave a few tenths off his own lap times.

Despite what his questionable priorities might suggest, Andy actually has a pretty respectable racing résumé. With multiple ROAR National Championships, a recent victory at the 360v2 NYGP, and several impressive finishes at the U.S. Indoor Champs, he’s proven he can occasionally do more than just sell screws.

He’s also amassed an impressive collection of TQ awards, podium finishes, and trophies commemorating all the times he was really fast right up until the part where it mattered most.

With back-to-back podium appearances at the Halloween Classic, Andy is no stranger to the front of the grid. He’s also no stranger to finding creative ways to avoid the top step of the podium.

When asked about his expectations for this year’s event, Andy declined to comment, citing a pressing need to count another 10,000 screws.

Whether he’s battling for the win, overthinking suspension geometry, or simply adding another piece to his growing collection of “almost had it” trophies, one thing is certain: he’ll be there.

Unfortunately, so will the rest of us. 😅

11/04/2026

Our next 2026 Halloween Classic - Presented by; Awesomatix USA Driver Confirmed: Brandon Phillips!

The grid just locked in some absolute dual-threat talent, because Brandon Phillips is officially confirmed for the Classic!

Representing eXcelerate RC, Brandon is a proven powerhouse on high-traction indoor carpet. He’s coming into the weekend with massive momentum after putting on a stellar performance right here at the 2026 NORCAR Summer Slam, proving he knows exactly how to make an eXcelerate platform dance around this track.

But Brandon isn’t just known for laying down clinical lines on the track—he's also an incredibly talented tattoo artist. Rumor has it his fine lettering and needlework are as precise as his cornering apexes, and he’s even known to ink a mean company logo for fellow racers looking to wear their company permanently!

Whether you need a specialized chassis dialed in or some fresh, custom ink, Brandon has you covered this weekend. Watch out for his elite line work, because he's coming to hunt down a spot on the podium!
