Sandown burns off Easternats event

24 Jun, 2009 04:07 PM
THE popular yet controversial Easternats Auto Spectacular has been booted out of its Sandown raceway home after the Melbourne Racing Club ''ended its relationship'' with the event's promoter.

In a statement released today, the MRC confirmed it would no longer work with John Davison and his company, Rapid Australia.

''Easternats will no longer be held at the venue,'' it stated.

The MRC would not elaborate on why Easternats and Mr Davison had been blacklisted after 13 years at the Sandown venue.

Mr Davison was reluctant to comment on the demise of Easternats, claiming he had no knowledge of the MRC's decision.

''As far as we're concerned [there's] three years left on the contract.

''The matter will now have to be resolved amicably or judiciously.''

In April, Mr Davison was slugged with six infringement notices by Greater Dandenong Council for permit breaches including excessive noise levels and burnouts in places they were not permitted.

When asked if the MRC's actions were prompted by the breaches, Mr Davision said.: ''We deny any liability and will address [concerns] in due course.''

This is because idiots don't want to obey the rules. There are plenty of places to do burnouts, but braindead thickheads don't listen, they just smokem up anywhere they like. It's all their fault. Pity because this years event was the best ever.
