Getting Started

Creating An Account

While viewing most data on QMRacingInfo.com does not require an account, there are a number of significant advantages of creating an account with us:

  • (With granted permissions) Administer a club or group, modifying its calendar, contact lists, and more.
  • Create your own custom calendars and always have handy a mix of schedules for the clubs and groups that interest you.
  • Manage subscriptions to SMS (text message) channels that clubs use for event announcements

Creating an account is very simple. The main page of QMRacingInfo.com has a box in the center of the screen which looks like the below:

Simply enter your e-mail address and a password and click the Create Account button. Once you do, you will be taken to the account settings page which will look like the below:

While you do not absolutely need to make any changes to your settings, there are some things we strongly recommend upon creation of your account:

  • First: Select a home club from the drop down and click Change Club. Upon logging in, you will automatically be taken to the page for your home club.
  • Second: (Optionally) Enter your name in the name field and click Change Name. While not required, it's nice seeing your identity as more than an e-mail address in various places.
  • Third: (Optionally) Enter your mobile phone number in the mobile phone field (like 123-456-7890) and click Change Phone. If you intend to ever receive SMS messages from a club that uses our SMS services, we need to know where to send them. In addition, at some point in the future we are likely to enable two-factor authentication via SMS for some sensitive account and administrative changes.

Administrator Access

If members of your club's board of directors or your group's board of directors already have administrative access to QMRacingInfo.com, simply ask them to add you as an administrator for the club or group. Once you have administrative access, you can perform updates on behalf of the club or group: editing the club or group calendar, changing the contact information for board members, etc...

If no one in your organization yet has administrative access to QMRacingInfo.com, please send a request to support@QMRacingInfo.com with details about what club or group you want administrative access for and the e-mail login for the QMRacingInfo.com account which will become a club or group administrator. We will reach out to a known board member of your club/group to verify that such access is appropriate. Once we receive verification, your account will become an administrator and you can work from there.
