Improve Reaction Times At The Smarter Racing Workshop

Drag racing drivers always look for ways to shave fractions of a second off their passes. Finding that extra advantage requires raw horsepower, tight reflexes, and serious mental focus. To give drivers a competitive edge, the popular drag racing statistics and analytics platform DragInsights plans to host a brand-new Smarter Racing Workshop online. This free event brings top-tier talent directly to grassroots racers looking for ways to dominate the dragstrip.

DragInsights built a loyal following over five years by giving drivers heavy data analytics. To celebrate this five-year anniversary, founders Rusty Johnson and Alicia Anderson want to give back to the community. The platform scheduled this special online class for May 12, 2026, starting at 7:00 p.m. EST. The Smarter Racing Workshop brings in legendary drivers Peter Biondo and Dan Fletcher. The National Hot Rod Assoc. (NHRA) recently named both of these veterans to its official Top 75 Greatest Drivers list.

During the presentation, Biondo and Fletcher will show attendees exactly how to read their timeslips properly and avoid common interpretation mistakes. Drivers will master how to build starting-line consistency and adapt their track strategies using hard numbers. DragInsights notes: “During this free-to-join workshop, Biondo and Fletcher will share winning secrets designed to help you improve as a driver.” The session includes a live case study and a full question-and-answer block to help attendees fully digest round-by-round decisions. The current platform team includes racing professionals alongside leaders in modern data technology to support these learning tools.

Getting direct access to champion drivers gives club racers a massive advantage over the local competition.
