RE: PistonHeads Sunday Service: Fast Car Festival 31/7
Discussion
Hi All,
Emails are all sent, and as previously mentioned no further amendments will be made to the attendance list or the track sessions as there has been plenty of time for people to mull it over and decide if they want to come or not!
Enjoy the event!

(Just FYI, sadly I'm not going to be there this weekend as I'm at a wedding... BOOOO! However, Ben L will be there looking after everyone so if you have any questions just ask him.)

It seems I've been wrong allocated a track session (I did initially request it, but I really don't want or need it) My note was changed 30 seconds after putting track time.
I will definitely still be attending, but please allocate the track session to someone else. I don't want someone to miss out!
James - I'll email you too, in case you're not keeping an eye on this!

I didnt get a track place and have therefore cancelled my attendance at this event. Some may see that as petty but to me it was the main attraction to this event and the only reason i decided to attend. Without the track time its difficult to justify 9 hours parked at Donington.
I suspect a lot of people will cancel after receiving the email as they probably didn't realise the event forces them to stay from 8:30am to 5:30pm. It will be very unfair to punish PH users who remove their names today as the actual full details weren't released until today and the timetable is very different to usual Sunday services. Such a shame full details weren't released earlier.

Hi Everyone,
I'm afraid that we can't change the allocations for the track time. I'd suggest that if you are attending and want to go on track that you go to the pit garages at the top of the pits an hour before the PH sessions and speak to the organisers - if there are no shows I guess they'll be able to allocate them on a first come first served basis, but this will be at their discretion.
As for those who are pulling out purely because you didn't get track time, that's really unfair on the people who will now miss out because of your decision. I've made it clear all along that we won't change the allocation of spaces after Thursday. In fact, I said this which you would have to have read before you signed up:

"Only put your name down if you're 100 per cent, definitely, absolutely, positively going to come. We've worked really hard on this Sunday Service and each place is valuable. We will take an extremely dim view of ANYONE who removes their name from the list after Thursday July 28 or doesn't turn up. It is selfish and extremely unfair, especially given the value of the event and the small allocation that we have."
Can I ask James why is attendance to the event on a first come first served but the track time done on a draw? Seems strange to run 2 different selection methods for the same event. People including myself would feel less dissapointed had the track time been done on a first come first served basis and it would have avoided the problems seen above where people who wanted track time didn't get it and people who didn't want it have been given track time.

Have to agree with this, as I cannot stay around all day until 4pm for a track session. Would still like to attend the morning meet, but will have to relinquish my track slot for others to hopefully use DaveGB said:

Can I give my slot to someone else that CAN use it please? If that is the case, disregard my email and i'll get it sorted this end. Apologies for the inconvenience.
