hpde curriculum guide testimonials

"There is not a doubt in my mind, the information contained in The HPDE Curriculum Guide will be a Rosetta Stone for HPDE organizations, from new to well established."


Andy Pilgrim, Traffic Safety Education Foundation

"The HPDE Curriculum Guide is a perfect example of the type of best practice resources the HPDE community needs. MSF will be sharing this guide far and wide with our audience."

“The concepts in The HPDE Curriculum Guide are the same concepts I use when coaching my pro driver clients.  They are THE fundamentals.  I highly recommend this guide to any HPDE instructor looking to deliver high performance results to their students”.  


Shea Holbrook Chorley, Pro Coach/Pro Driver, Owner BSI Racing

"The HPDE Curriculum Guide allows you to look outside your normal classroom 'bubble' that a lot of us operate in.  This guide has reached across the marquee club/non-profit organizations and for profit groups and distilled it down to a great collection of themes and best practices for classroom.  It's great to see how a simple twist of phrase or slight shift of terms can shed new light onto something that you've been using for years".


Bill Wade, BMW Car Club of America / BMW CCA Foundation / MSF

"THE Guide is useful for every group, from the most seasoned to the freshest. It's a must read for any organizer or instructor."


Matt Romanowski, TrailBrake.com

The materials are organized, digestible, and dive into all of the most important aspects of driving on track. Everyone who gets on a race track should study this in order to step up their level of safety and to improve their driving, both of which equate to more fun every time they get behind the wheel.”

Levi Barnes, Chief Driving Instructor - Just Track It

"When racers are also your peers in HPDE instructing and all work together to collectively raise the bar for the HPDE industry, well that’s simply amazing. The HPDE Curriculum Guide is the most well planned and executed resource for new and experienced instructors as well as CDI's.  I highly recommend it."
