Greetings Event Organizers! The next time you log into your Hagerty MSR account, you’ll be prompted to accept new user terms. We know that new terms can lead to concern or confusion, so we want to give you a simple breakdown on what’s really being updated.  

The results are in: The annual Hagerty Motorsports Participation Survey is complete. This year’s survey looked at topics including overall events, gas prices, inflation, what kind of events are increasing in popularity and which are on the wane, as well as a few of the reasons why people might be participating more this year. 

Beginning January 1, 2022, the IRS threshold for reporting amounts on Form 1099-K is dropping from $20,000 and 200 transaction to $600. This means that any Hagerty MSR organizer who has processed $600 or more in registration fees during the 2022 year will be issued a 1099-K.

The team has been working on adding a variety of new features (and eliminating bugs) in a number of ongoing projects. Here’s a brief look at what we’ve accomplished since last August: 

Checking our phones for notifications, texts, and alerts has become almost an unconscious act for many. It’s not exactly controversial to say that smartphones are heavily relied upon in some form for nearly all facets of our day-to-day activities. 

Our 2022 MSR Tech Sessions gathering was a whirlwind three-day virtual gathering of some of the top minds in the motorsports industry, all assembled with the intent of helping you make your club the best organization it can be. 

To many people, a helmet is just the thing that protects your head. But there is a cottage industry of artisans that use helmets as the raw material to create works of fine art that just-so-happen to double as safety equipment.

Custom-painted helmets can take upwards of 40 hours for disassembly, design, paint, and reassembly before seeing action on track. They are incredible labors of love created by craftsmen around the globe. In this second edition of our global list, we've highlighted twenty of the best and their most stunning designs ranging from amateur karting to Formula 1.

Are you new to MotorsportReg and in need of some help to start building your next event registration form? Or maybe you’re a long-time user with a new event form to create, but you’re not quite sure where to start? If so, we are excited to share our most popular global event templates with you!  

Following any event, one of the most important things to do as an event organizer is collect feedback from your attendees to learn about their experience, needs and expectations. Post event surveys will provide your team with actionable insights which can be used to create strategies for future event improvements and ensure continued success.

Your event advertisement page plays a critical role in converting interested page visitors to registered attendees. Done correctly, this page should answer the majority of questions a potential participant may have about your event and provide a compelling event description which entices them to proceed to registration. At a minimum, this page should communicate the who, what, where, when, why, and how much of your event. Having seen thousands of these pages, here are a few best practices we'd highly recommend you incorporate into your event advertisement pages for the 2022 season.

Here at Hagerty MSR we see many different types of events. All of them (with just a few exceptions) have two things in common: tires and a motor. What goes around those tires and motor varies greatly depending on the organization, the discipline, the event, and the vehicle.  

When was the last time you audited the administrative users within your MSR account? The answer to this for many clubs in MSR is “never”, which exposes your organization to some level of risk which you may not be comfortable with. 

In our last post Faith gave a rundown of the new admin navigation interface, and now I'm here to share some of the great new functionality that it offers.

As a member of the Hagerty MotorsportReg Customer Success team, I have the sincere pleasure of working with so many of you, our customers, on a daily basis. If you've ever written in to our support box, there is a good chance we've worked together to troubleshoot one thing or another. I have nothing but respect and admiration for everything our event organizers do to facilitate outstanding events for their attendees, and I'm honored to help wherever and whenever I can.
