All good points, Dave.

As someone who has no intention of racing at either event I have to agree with you. The only problem I can see is that the cancellation date for a refund seems to have been changed - which is simply wrong in my opinion.

Agree, changing the date is wrong, not a cheap race fee to give away as a gift, be nice if Nicolas could rethink this one.

I understand what you guys are saying but all the anger seems to be pointed at Nicolas when it wasnt him that causec this problem.

Why hasnt it been said that Petit has been treated baddly by these clubs that agreed to hold his meeting.
Why hasnt anyone said how wrong it is to hold a meeting on the same day just to spite Petit Rc as being wrrong.
Why hasnt anyone said that the venue area 51 is at is miles away from where they saaid it would be, so like Nic said it would take him 45 minuetes to get to the venue from his hotel. I also believe the amount of people that had booked a hotel was a small proportion of people.

I'd like to point out Towcester travelodge is 15 miles away, Silverstone village is 13 miles away from chipping warden the venue for the area 51 meeting. Not 25 miles that has been mis quoted on this thread.

Try changing the published date for refunds without informing anyone? will that suffice?

Not really as this has been going on for sometime and if you wanted a refund you should have done it ages ago.

Not sure I agree with you DC.
If the cancellation date is 'X' then you have till then to cancel.
Many would know this and may wanted to see how things pan out.
It is a big shame that there has been this misunderstanding.
I can't find an excuse for moving the cancellation date though!!!!

I never even knew there was a cancellation date as I hadnt entered. It does seem that peoplee are focusing on what they believe Nicolas has done wrong and Im saying that what about the way he was trreated? Is it fair that he had to move his meeting and then area 51 meetting was born and has gone directly in compettition with the Pettit race probably directly causing most of the drivers to cancel Petit and enter the area 51 race. Thus taking money away from Petit. This doesnt seem right to me!!!

Like I said I think it's a big shame but no one is to know what was said and what wasn't. The fact that all the drivers were informed of cancellation prior to Silverstone crew is a bit of a factor though DC.
I said this before that there shouldn't be a problem in other clubs putting on events when there are big meetings elsewhere as that gives people the choice where to go. If like some of us we want to compete with the best then we go there - if some feel they don't want to do that then go elsewhere - Let the drivers decide - simples!

Trouble is no one knows the ins and outs of what went on behind the scenes other than Silverstone club and petit.

But the simple explanation is.

Moto arena let SRCMCC down, we tried to find a venue near or as close to moto arena as possible (which was done) Nicholas was told that we had found a venue and were awaiting confirmation (he was told a date they should know by). Nicholas then moved the petit (which then the venue conformed 2 hours later, which was thursday and nicholas was told he would hear by the Friday). That's about the jist of it and the figures that he was asked for 6k to run the event are mad. Silverstone had the venue confirmed and makes sence to use it after weeks of sorting it out.

If you want to do the petit do the petit if you want to do area 51 do area 51 if you want to stay home and chat about it on a forum then do so.
