By just hitting S you may be taking screenshot, not saving the track. I've never had an issue yet where clicking on the word "save" to the left in the editor hasn't saved my track. Try that.

It's saving in a folder, it just must not be the folder you are expecting it to.

What folder are you trying to send your buddy?

It sounds like you're putting the blank track in your install folder. That won't work because the game doesn't have write access to that folder to save there, so it saves in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\MX Simulator", which you can find by opening All Programs / MX Simulator / MX Simulator Personal Folder.
