Very disappointed and mad with the SCCA right now. I understand canceling an event because of a situation but when you know the situation days in advanced and you have people traveling from 3 plus hours away and you wait until 3 hours before the gates open to cancel an event because of fuel concerns when those coming have already made arrangements to deal with that and taken off work and expenses INCLUDING FUEL, to cancel the event due to concerns on fuel. This issue was know well outside of 24hrs of the event, why wait til so many had already left and made the trip to cancel it. Very very bad judgment. Not to cancel it but to wait so late to do it. That’s what was so bad. People have lost a lot of money today because of someone’s assanine decision. Very bad planning. I always enjoy your events and how they are ran but whoever handled today’s decision needs to be questioned themselves. That’s great if you are going to give us a rain check on the entry fee or refund but that’s only a small piece of what the cost was today for such a stupid way that this cancelation was handled. Really inexcusable. I work in a industry that has to make a lot of decisions like this in the sports world so I do understand about having to do things like this but never has seen it done in this manner. You either cancel 24hrs out or who ever can come come and those that can’t just can’t. Just very disappointed in the way this was handled. Ok all done for now.
I still can sign up for this fun event!? Novice.
