Racer-X Needs Your Help!!!!

[CodeRedR51]

Should we get a petition going?

 

[paulmac2k9]

They must let him race, that story Jett wrote about poor Pat makes me so mad at the people that did this to him . It's like they get away scot free and he has this damn ball and chain to drag around for simply standing up for himself...

Also as others have said he earned his spot fair and square! He had to sell things just to get a plane ticket to the racer X comp, thats commitment. Then he got 3rd(?) overall in the nationals and tonnes of press/people all over him, there will be an uprising against this for sure .

I don't see why not. The more people that can convince Nissan, the better.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Someone else will have to get it started though.

Wow, this must be really heartbreaking for him...I definitely feel like there should be a positive turn-around in this.

Shouldn't we get an actual petition started, i.e one with our real names from that petition site?

Edit: That's a great idea Turbo, and I think someone should do that. If you want it to be me just let me know. I just don't want to start one if someone else already has.

 

[Darren.]

@R1600 Turbo, can you give me a link. I can then make it then pass on the link to Nissan as the petition begins to fill up.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I have never done this. Is this the site?. Jett would be in a good position to write the statement and get this started.

Or maybe darren200cook.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That might work. And yeah, I think Jett should be the one to get that going.

I just don't see a GTP based petition with our GTP names doing much...

I agree, since Jett asked first.

 

[Bennen13]

Either ipetition.com or change.org looks good.

 

[topgear3793]

I'll wait for an official petition. Keep us updated!

This is absolutely heart breaking. I will probably be slower than most, but I am going to ask my father's friend (more like previous dental patient) about this. He is a defense attorney for medical malpractice in NYC. While this is not exactly his area of expertise, he is so smart he will probably spell things out pretty clearly.

Sounds great paskowitz, and every little bit helps.

 

[Jett_Racer]

Alright guys, we're good! It took me a while to get past the security key sadly, but I finally beat it!

Anyways, if we can just keep this floating around, we should be good.

I'll get Veloci to paste this in the OP when he's on.

Signed, added to Sig.

He's got my support, if its being dropped, is that mean its being expunged? or do we not know that yet. It's a terrable thing when we are taken for something dumb in our past. People do make mistakes but it's a shame when that is all we are judged for in the future; however, if it was a person with multiple infractions throughout their life I/we would probably not feel so much compassion. I went to school for legal training and some heavey titles can be put on small wrong actions, so if I can help let me know; other than that we here are thinking of ya bro.....

 

[paskowitz]

From what little I know about PR, I have to unfortunately say that it is far less damaging to disqualify Patrick than to let him participate. If he actually does get convicted (lets pray not), then that is a huge problem for Sony, Nissan, GT Academy and Gran Turismo. This vs GTPlanet, the internet, Facebook and a couple of angry letters.

About the only thing I can say is the "broken guitar effect". This has had a huge effect on how companies view the power of social media. United Airlines lost hundreds of millions of dollars (FastMoney) because they didn't replace one man's guitar (that they broke). While this case is different, we live in a world where companies can no longer make public decisions with public immunity.

VVVVVVVVVVV ... just copy the list...

Man, I hope that works out for him.

I saw earlier in the thread a discussion about contacting Nissan/Sony. What is the best way to share our thoughts with them? Is there an email account setup for this that we should use?

I've signed. Though, I haven't been posting in this thread before, I'm still a supporter.

I think Turbo is on that.
