Mark Pfeffer started MVP Track Time after years of paying other HPDE organizations for the privilege of waiting in the paddock.
The frustrations were specific. Limited seat time. Over-regulation that punished sensible drivers for the bad behavior of a few. Pompous attitudes that made novices feel unwelcome and veterans feel managed. Membership dues just to register for events you might not even attend.
Seven years later, MVP runs events that are everything those weren't. Smaller groups so you spend more time on track and less time waiting. Real instructors who ride along with new drivers — they don't drive your car, they teach you to. No membership tiers, no political games, no extra charges to bring a friend who wants to spectate.
"This Is Not a Race."
That's the founding principle, and it shows up in every decision: the rules we write, the way we treat drivers, the events we choose, the cars we welcome. If it's safe and you want to drive it, we want you here.
Your professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to safety… drivers said you treat them as adults, unlike other organizations.
First event I've participated in (and I have 100+ track days) where there were no black flags in my group.
I have a newfound appreciation for how well you run your events with regard to education, safety and efficiency.
It was my first MVP event, and I have to say it was run so professionally, on time and everything about it made it enjoyable.
You approved me for intermediate at Road America and I have to say it was the best thing that has happened to me.
Ran this Saturday's track day and wanted to let you know I had a good time and was impressed with how well things were run.
Though the weather was a challenge logistically, you and the track folks worked together to make great choices.
Great venue, great weather and great to be back out with like-minded friends!
Your flexibility and willingness to work with us was greatly appreciated.
Really enjoyed Road Atlanta last weekend… appreciate all the work you put in to allow track junkies like me to enjoy this awesome hobby.
Had a blast this past weekend. This is the perfect venue to play with our fun cars in a controlled space.
