Stevie Jackson and Killin’ Time Racing Launch Exciting KTR-U Education Courses
Highlights
- KTR-U educational program launched by Stevie Jackson and Killin’ Time Racing
- First classes focus on FuelTech and Holley ECUs, starting soon
- Program offers beginner to advanced tuning courses with certification
- Hands-on training planned at racetrack with 10 to 20 cars simultaneously
- KTR-U aims to increase skilled tuners and support drag racing growth
- Multi-instructor approach draws from KTR experts and prior tuner school model
Stevie “Fast” Jackson and Killin’ Time Racing launch KTR-U in Thomson, Georgia, with classes starting soon, targeting ECU tuning and race preparation to expand the sport’s skilled workforce.
The move marks a pivot from KTR’s historically guarded data practices. Jackson now prioritizes knowledge sharing to meet demand from teams seeking qualified tuners and crew chiefs.
Core modules debut on FuelTech and Holley ECUs. KTR schedules roughly one class per month for each platform, scaling frequency with interest and facility capacity.
KTR-U launches with FuelTech and Holley ECU classes in Thomson, Georgia.
Each course includes a workbook, KTR-branded gear, lunches for both days, and discounted lodging options. Graduates receive a KTR-U certificate upon completion of core requirements.
Advanced instruction extends into traction control, oxygen sensor correction strategies, wheelspeed management, and blower overdrive calculations. Entry requires completion of the beginner pathway.
Training shifts trackside for practical modules. KTR plans dedicated rentals, running simultaneous exercises with 10 to 20 cars to embed decision-making under real conditions.
Hands-on racetrack sessions will tune 10–20 cars simultaneously.
Delivery follows a multi-instructor model. Subject specialists within KTR lead modules aligned to their strengths, echoing Jackson’s earlier work launching a tuner school at Hennessey Performance.
The strategy targets a structural shortfall. Teams across drag racing routinely outstrip the available supply of experienced tuners, slowing car development cycles and weekend execution.
Comparable talent pipelines appear across elite motorsport. Coverage of Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s progression and FIA governance debates highlights the importance of structure and resourcing.
Jackson frames KTR-U as symbiotic. The school lifts industry standards and gives KTR a recruitment channel for technicians already calibrated to its methods.
Graduates earn KTR-U certification after completing beginner modules.
The timing aligns with wider engineering conversations, including the Motorsports Engineering Symposium, where education and data discipline remain recurring themes.
First classes begin within weeks. KTR will track demand, refine curricula, and adjust cadence, aiming to turn guarded expertise into a scalable competitive baseline.
