53RD ANNUAL RPM@DAYTONA WORKSHOPSDaytona Beach Shores, FL (January 2, 2026) – Registration is officially open and session times have been set for the 53rd Annual RPM@Daytona Workshops, scheduled for February 8–10, 2026, at The Shores Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida.

The Workshops kick off on Sunday evening, February 8, with the BluePrint Engines Big Game Party, presented by MyRacePass, EventSprout, and Race Track Wholesale, followed by two full days of educational sessions on Monday, February 9, and Tuesday, February 10.

Now in its third consecutive year at The Shores Resort, the RPM@Daytona Workshops continue to serve as a cornerstone event leading into Speedweeks activities throughout Volusia County.

Schedule Adjustments for 2026

In response to attendee feedback and the continued growth of the program, sessions will now begin at 9:15 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday, with the exhibitor area opening at 8:00 a.m. These adjustments are designed to better accommodate networking, exhibitor engagement, and the expanded session lineup.

Featured Speakers & Sessions

The 2026 speaking lineup will be headlined by Levi Jones, Promoter and General Manager of Eldora Speedway. Jones’ diverse background and attention to detail have established him as one of the sport’s leading voices, offering insight into both operational excellence and forward-thinking promotion.

Joining the program on Tuesday, February 10, will be Loretta Thiering, owner and promoter of Edmonton International Raceway (Alberta, Canada). Thiering will present a dynamic session focused on the evolving business of race track promotion. Jones and Thiering represent just the beginning of a vibrant workshop schedule that blends new content with long-standing traditions, including:

  • “The Jody Session”, honoring the legacy of Jody Deery, one of the founders and strongest supporters of the RPM Workshops. This session will be led by women in the motorsports industry, with all attendees encouraged to participate.
  • Legal Update & Pro Bono Hour, expanded and delivered through breakout sessions
  • Additional sessions designed to support, educate, and strengthen the short track motorsports industry
