The Journal understands fines for breach of permit conditions at the motoring event earlier this year were the last straw for the Melbourne Racing Club, which last week "ended it's relationship" with Jon Davison and his company Rapid Australia.

Mr Davison said the event had been "hung for a parking ticket". "We're not going to sit back and criticise the turf club (MRC), but we're not going to wear the responsibility of the issues to do with breaches of the permit until the full information becomes available.

"As far as we're concerned, [there's] three years left on the contract. The matter will now have to be resolved amicably or judiciously."

In a statement released to The Journal last week, the MRC stated it had not made its decision "lightly", but would not elaborate on why Easternats and Mr Davison had been blacklisted.

"Sandown Motor Raceway will continue to host motoring-based activities, including driver education training, motorsport and car club events, but the Easternats will no longer be held at the venue."

Acting Senior Sergeant Phil Atkins, of Springvale police, said: "We solely look at the safety point of view for drivers, their passengers, spectators and all other people who go there. There are issues there and for that reason we support the Melbourne Racing Club's decision."

At the three-day motoring event in April, Mr Davison and the MRC was slugged with six infringement notices for permit breaches including excessive noise levels and burnouts in places they were not permitted.

Greater Dandenong Council's development services director, Mal Baker, confirmed Mr Davison had paid some of the infringements issued.
