At Maximum Overdrive Software Company we believe in the concepts and values that Quarter Midget Racing brings to our young kids.

We would like to continue to offer Quarter Midget clubs current and up to date software that will assist the tower staff run an efficient race day.

The version 1.2.9 software that many clubs are running had reached its end of life late in 2012. Support for this version is no longer available. We spent a year and a half developing its replacement and did a low volume Beta release in early 2012 to iron out some issues before it's Stable release.The product that we are offering now is the version 1.3.x which is based on the annual subscription plan as presented to Regional and National executives at the 2011 national meeting. This presentation explains the Subscription program (click).

We also tested and released the new low cost Moscore-QM Lite package for clubs that do not have the funds for the electronic scoring equipment but want to take advantage of Membership, Registration, race setup and results of a Quarter Midget race day. This version will run a scoreboard which is a good tool for clubs to have at their track.

We encourage any club that does not currently run Moscore-QM to try the FREE DEMO version of Moscore-QM.

With the demo version you can run up to 4 events before you are required to purchase a software license which includes the 2013 subscription.

We are also trying to work towards a new line of scoreboards for Quarter midget clubs. Those clubs that have them have not regretted their purchase.

In order to maintain ongoing support of the Moscore-QM program and scoreboard displays, we are looking for good solid participation from all Quarter Midget clubs, QMA and USAC.

In the event that the participation levels are below our needs we will continue with a limited level of support for 2013. Support will include phone calls and software bug repairs with updates. We will not be offering  any new Custom Feature programming for Clubs.

If you have any questions or would like to move on with a purchase please feel free to contact us

Clubs that have been using the new Beta version of Moscore-QM may be wondering where the monthly releases are!

In September of this year I was going to test the new Beta release and maybe issue it as a stable release.

Before I started the testing, I attempted a road trip to Taylorville Illinois, then to Daktronics in South Dakota. Unfortunately I was denied access to the USA because I could not provide sales agreements with QMA clubs which included an after sales service contract. After being turned away again at the Ontario/Michigan border, I have had to spend time researching what was needed to rectify the situation and finally came across documents which explained the ruling. The solution is that with every future sale we make to our US customers, we must provide a sales agreement which includes wording that enables Maximum Overdrive Software to be able to (when agreed by both parties) provide on site after-sales service for software that is made in Canada. This agreement must be properly filled and signed by the purchasing club before we can issue new Club Keys. It was fortunate that we started the annual subscription plan because we can not just sell an after market agreement, it has to come with a product, upgrades are considered a product. The new annual Basic/Gold subscriptions will also be sold with an agreement and after sales service agreement which must be properly filled out and signed before the subscription Key can be released.

So we will not be able to release new versions of 1.3.X until we are able to write up several new sales agreement forms and revise the embedded End User License Agreement that you accept to when you install our Moscore-Qm.

Hopefully these contracts should be ready for December.

 

call us if you have any questions

Fall 2012 Update Print E-mail

Late 2011 and 2012 we have been busy with five timing and scoring projects.

Moscore-QM Version 1.3.X release

Moscore-QM Lite a version of Moscore-QM that does all the registration and race setup features, creates grids and results runs scoreboards, but it will not run the MyLaps transponder. The users can update to full Moscore-QM at a later date

Moscore-SC a Matrix Display Scoreboard Control addon for Short Track Oval and Road Course racing that use Orbits software

To see a video of an earlier version of Moscore-SC go to our facebook page

Moscore RM an enhanced app for Short Track Oval and Road Course racing. It is for pit use or spectator use and it monitors and logs live race data with names,positions, lap times, and gap differentials of all the cars on the track. The data can be replayed at any time after the race using a special player.

Wireless Connectivity with CH9001-11 Numeric scoreboard a wireless solution to older decaying wiring and easier portable setup

Moscore-QM had a limited Beta release earlier in 2012 to a few selected tracks that we knew were reliable to give us useful feedback using our new development site. With the feedback we received we made necessary changes with better results. We now have a wider area Beta release for any club that wants to move forward with Moscore-QM. Several clubs have purchased the new Moscore-QM Lite and have given us very positive feedback. Some of these clubs have expressed interest in adding a scoreboard to enhance their race day operations.

As we haven't received any new issues reported lately with the current version release we could be releasing the non Beta version of 1.3.X soon.

For details on how and why we have implemented an annual subscription program, play  the 2011 National Meeting Presentation that is on this web site.

We have been working on a wireless solution for the CH9001-11 scoreboard that we sell. It is like the one that QMA National brings to the Grand National events. Testing is almost complete, however we seem to be having delays and roadblocks in accessing a scoreboard to test with. This is a concern with us and could seriously affect our future ventures.
