This is just pathetic really!
Now Victoria OFFICIALLY has Australia's worst motor racing environment!
The Victorian Government is an absolute joke! Time we protest good and proper! Lets all take our shirts off in front of Flinders Street!
Seems the only way you get stuff done these days, is if you are NOT born in Australia! frOckING JOKE!
I PAY MY TAXES - DO SOMETHING WITH IT FOR ME! NOT SOME IMPORT!

Thats bull**** !!!
They are trying to stop people speeding and drag racing on the streets, so why do they go and shut down our tracks/events, where they should be opening more places for car so they get us off the streets !
easternats are a place were driver go and have fun, its a place where all you hard work is respected !
The government should be keeping us off the streets and putting us in events,
i agree with you Matt, I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A STAND !!!!!

Statement from Jon Davison the Promoter of the EASTERNATS 2010
Re: The Calder Park Agreement
After reading a number of inaccurate statements from Ian MacArthur � General Manager of Calder Park in regard to the EASTERNATS 2010, I outline the following.
An Agreement for hire of Calder Park Raceway to host the EASTERNATS was first provided to me on or about Friday the 26th February 2010. For your information I had on a number of occasions inclusive of December, January and early February, requested a copy of the Agreement.
The Agreement as provided was not in line with the terms outlined in the document headed EASTERNATS Summary which was provided to me by representatives of Calder Park in November 2009, particularly in relation to the period of license which was to be �(5 year x 5 year with renewable options)�. Since the 26th February I had been informed on the 9th March by email that the Agreement was �suspended� and then further on the 11th March that the Agreement was cancelled and by further letter dated the 12th March I was advised by Bob Jane of the following;
�So I�m now faced with two options, to maintain the position of the cancellation of the event at Calder Park or alternatively to continue the event under the management of Calder Park and protecting your perceived value of the EASTERNATS ongoing basis in the future�. Bob Jane�s letter 12th March then outlined the basis for a new Agreement, which entailed a new option arrangement at the option of the owner year by year.
As the Promoter I had at all times acted and negotiated in good faith, however under the circumstances I could not accept the terms as proposed and acknowledged that I had been unable to reach any satisfactory long term agreement, and in accordance with Bob Jane�s correspondence, I accepted the cancellation. It is important to note Bob Jane suspended and then cancelled the event.
On or about the 1st March I was provided with a copy of correspondence from Carey Patterson, Manager Building Services & Municipal Building Surveyor advising Calder Park Raceway that, �the owner of the property is required to have an Occupancy Permit issued prior to any event at which admission is charged for the purposes of public entertainment�.
I was advised by Bob Jane that he had this matter under control and that the issue was being resolved by his lawyers and Brimbank Council.
I received from Maddocks solicitors representing Brimbank City Council (BCC) dated 12th March 2010 that Calder Park the Venue had failed to obtain an Occupancy Permit for Calder Park to act as a place of public entertainment. Maddocks threatened legal action against Rapid Corporation as the Promoter of the EASTERNATS, unless an application for a Certificate of Occupancy was made to Council by 4:00 pm on the 18th March 2010. As of Monday 15th March 2010, Calder Park had not made the application to Council.
This issue combined with threatening legal correspondence regarding the Occupancy Permit and the changes to and subsequent uncertainties of the commercial agreement, were totally unacceptable. I had always proceeded on the assurance that the venue Calder Park had all the necessary planning permits and satisfied all regulatory requirements for the conduct of public entertainment.
Under the circumstances as of Monday 15th March I was unable and unwilling to proceed. My case rests.
Yours sincerely
Jon Davison
