Well, it seems you guys were getting better communication than the organisers. We received the following email this afternoon from WSID:
---------------------------------------------
Duncan,
I regret to advise that we are forced to postpone your track hire scheduled for this Saturday, July 9, 2011.
I sincerely apologise for this late notice. Despite our optimism and the best efforts of all involved, who are still working now, the track surface works remain behind schedule with final profiling yet to be completed.
I also offer a sincere personal apology for the inconvenience and disappointment this will no doubt cause your club members – and of course yourself and other organisers that have worked hard to put everything in place. Eventually, despite understandable frustration, I hope you will all agree that it would not be acceptable, nor appropriate, to proceed before we can confidently offer the best possible conditions.
Duncan, I can only offer my genuine apology and trust that you and your members will accept that the decision is in the best interests of everyone concerned.
I will await your instruction and once again offer this apology on behalf of the venue.
Kind Regards,
John Henman
Administration and Operations Manager
SYDNEY DRAGWAY

We are disappointed that at no time did WSID suggest this event may not be possible, and that we had no warning until this afternoon of the cancellation.
However, we will organise this event for the first available date WSID offer us. In the meantime, anyone who does not want to carry their entry across to the new date, please let Aggroman know. Good news for those that needed more time to get their cars ready
