The 2026 Firecracker Classic at NORCAR R/C Raceway is in the books.

The fifteenth edition broke an entry record and the individual-racer record by far: 247 entries after all was said and done, and 119 unique drivers.

Thanks to:
The NORCAR R/C Raceway crew for giving the Firecracker Classic a home: Wayne Ge**er, Ron Mick, Huub Bouten, Tina Ge**er, Charles Mackin, and Nana for everything - a very nice facility to race at, a full-blown hobby shop, and some great food.

Event sponsors:
OvalWerks (Bill and Malissa Malicoat Malicoat), Pemberton RaceWorks (Steve Pemberton), and the Ho**er Chassis Outlaw Tour (Ryan Szary, Frank Mertz, and crew)

Race director Jared Bardin: thank *you* again for running the show. The flow kept moving with very little hiccups. Much appreciated.

All of the class sponsors: Thank *you* for supporting an event that started out as a small-time club race and has grown, in Jared's words, in to the second-biggest carpet oval race in the country behind the legendary Snowbird Nationals. Our "little" show has drawn racers and cars from all over the country after just being a "big" local club race. Thanks for supporting ALL of the classes, and not just the "national" TOUR classes.
