Big news for our instructors 🏁
We’ve teamed up with BFGoodrich Tires to give back to the people who make track days better and safer — our certified HPDE instructors.
Here’s what it means for them: 10% back on BFGoodrich tires (including the g-Force line built for the track), plus free access to the BFGoodrich Performance Driving Guide, created with MSF board member and pro coach Ross Bentley.

🏁 Big day for MSF.
We're publishing something today that we've been working on for the HPDE community: Basic Safety Practices for HPDE Event Organizers. It's a concise baseline document covering car, event, and on-track safety — the practices that leading HPDE organizations have found most effective at keeping drivers safe and events running well.
Here's what I want you to know:
• It's free
• It's not a mandate or a rulebook — it's a starting point
• It's written for the whole community, regardless of size or experience
• Your feedback will make the next version better
Whether you're running events, instructing, or just out there turning laps on weekends — give it a read. If it helps your program, share it with your team. If it sparks ideas, post them here. That's how we make the sport safer together.
