Good Day All,
Please be advised that the Arima Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday 26th January, 2014 has been cancelled.
The Commissioner of Police sited as his reason for revoking approval, the fact that the area to be used for the Grand Prix was presently a "High Risk Crime Hotspot" and thus unsafe for an event of this nature. As such, the event would no longer be allowed to continue.
TTASA is sorry for any inconvenience that this cancellation will cause, but as one can see, even despite our greatest efforts, the matter is presently out of our jurisdiction.
Regards
Radha Mohammed
Hon. Sec.

Also why has one organisation advertising a Grand Prix on this forum requested a LOCK, so that you can't ask any questions, and why Motorsport is struggling to gain momentum and respect from Government ?
We can start there, to UNLOCK the secrets that many try to keep us uninformed and ultimately divided.

Kinda sad that something that would benefit more than JUST the organisers would have to be void of input from the public. But from what I saw goin on when they had the forum "open", where ever other post was aimed at causing dissent, discord and was usually made with an "air of arrogance" it was only a matter of time I thought that the thread would be closed to the public.
And you know what? Even though they have every right to do that...it tells me a few things...
1) That there is great discontent and distrust among the motorsport community for the "care-takers" of Motorsport TTASA.
2) That despite this evident and undeniable distrust....it does not seem to faze the holders of that office.
3) Whether this event is supported by the "discontented" or not...it will go on regardless. Which is also sad...because if those who are "steering the car" only "ask for advice and accept it" the "ride" would be a whole lot more enjoyable and beneficial for all involved.....as opposed to> "shut up and leave the driving to us".
I have had "past dealings" with TTASA....being one of the very first to sign up as "affiliates".... assisted with the Sfdo Grand Prix and was privy to the "way things were/are done".
There were some good motives at times and even some positives along the way.
BUT....because of the sheer nature of motorsport...it is only a matter of time before "morality cross-threads profits".
All I can say is that it really erks me to know that not only my efforts put into advancing T&T's quest for a World Class Facility...but the efforts of MANY before me....have gone to the wayside and it seems that we are no further along than when we first lost our FIRST HOME....Waller Field.
somehow...I feel I may have misused the term: Care-takers.

my comment was not in reference to any club, but rather an observation of how things are run worldwide.wagonrunner wrote:ah. but where the investment here? how many decades have they been investing?
the business model this far is stifle their "competition" (as ruling body they shouldn't even be putting on events) and keep no account of any revenue generated.

how do we decimate vital information received responsibility. What is the safe way to walk the white in the road without being run over.
Folks, from what I was made to understand, our darkest days in Motorsport are approaching or already here. Those of you whom stage events will soon find it difficult to continue as a campaign has been launched to shut down most or even all events.
This situation will bring disbelief and even self imposed ignorance because the consensus now is that It will not affect me/us. We wait with bated breath to see who is next on the AX list ??

Really sad but can't say I didn't see this coming. Certain people want to be in charged of everything and if they can't control it, shut it down.
