I think they shouldve just let him do his burnout (but not make it could towards the finals) it wouldve taken 2 minutes and then he wouldve pissed off and that would be the end of it. Situation wasnt really handled well by everyone, they couldve avoided alot of trouble.

That security guard really needs a good kicking.. love the part where he kicks it sideways and sprays rubber and smoke all over them haha. much truth in the above comments though.

i reckon wat they need is like a spare burnout area that isnt judged or anything an they advertise it as a place where u can 'just do burnouts'. So many people go there just to lay a set, but arnt always good enough to compete competitively, and there is really no 'event' as such for it. Like one at a time an people could watch it an once your done its next persons go. If they lowered all the rules on a certain place like that the guys could have a place to destroy their cars an get their frustration out and their wouldnt be so much hassle for the other areas i reckon. An even if they hired like a 4wd or something to tow their cars off when they blow up if it came to that I realise people are going to drop a skid anywhere they can but i reckon something like this would realise the pressure of the rules and regs from the events they have going through the weekends.

Lol see the security gaurd who kicked the car and then grabbed the guy soon backed off when the owner of the gemini arced up.what a poor pathetic excuse for security

Summernats released a statement today,they have reviewed it and decided to only ban him from entering summernats 26 as a competitor.Tried to link the page but couldnt do it haha .The official statement is on the summernats website

Have you had fun before? And by fun I don't mean a glass of red and a cheese platter with the missus. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I agree with Russ, I'm a motoring enthusiast, and I enjoy a sweet burnout, and that was a pretty damn sweet burnout. But, rules are rules, he shouldn't have gone ahead with the burnout. If the security guys were *actual* security people, instead of themselves being just as bogan and useless as the drivers that go to these events, then perhaps it would have been handled better. Both were in the wrong, but at the end of the day, the driver should have obeyed instructions and taken it elsewhere.

He just posted on facebook about his 1 year ban, better than a life time!

Whatever your problem is learn to deal with it because believe it or not, CT is full of young people with modified cars Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

He did not mention modified cars.... Dont cry when an event like that gets shut down because some dude in a manga gemi stuffs it for you.theres a time,place and rules for this stuff

Both parties could have handled it better - but regardless of el-retardo kicking the door, does not entitle nuckinfuts to disobey the officials to do an unauthorised burnout. I was witness to a similar incident at PowerCruise, which, due to the better handling of the incident, saw a completely different outcome. My mate Steve, who owns the CHOPED Gemini (maybe there's something about Gemini's?) - Entered a Chopped V8 Gemini into PowerCruise. Passed Scrutineering, Cruised on the track all day Friday. Lined up for the Burnouts on the Fri night only to be told, just as he was about to do his skid that the roll cage was 50mm too low for the track's insurance, and hence, was not allowed on the track at all. Unlike Nukinfuts, Steve obeyed the officals - but took his case to Gup (who was on Steve's side, but it was the QR rep that wouldn't allow it). While the ruling was controversial, Steve ended up with a complete refund for PowerCruise, still allowed to spectate and drive the Gemini around the grounds, but not on the track. Steve was pretty pissed off at the time - but didn't put the event, or other people at risk by doing anything stupid. Steve will be back, with a new cage - that will have Gup (and QR's) approval prior to PowerCruise so he can come back and continue to do what he likes, and everyone is happy. This Summernats incident *should* have been handled better by the management, and nuckinfuts *shouldn't* have disobeyed the marshals - turned the car off and have a chat to the management. I'm sure the result would have been much better. Enough ranting - you get my point.

This is the begining of all the controversy with Summernats claiming that Steve Nogas did not Qualify for Sundays finals because he did not obey the fire marshalls directions, claiming the fire marshall told Steve not to start the car after it stalled when contact was made with the fence, then claimed to tell Steve to shut the car down once he re-started it. Clearly you can see at 0:48 we hit the wall and at no point did the fire Marshall tell us to shut it down, The Fire Marshall then signaled to the approaching tow vehicle that he wasnt needed at 1:49 and waved us through to exit the pad at 2:02 of the footage. Summernats have since told us we never qualified on friday but at 2:21 you can clearly see the official give steve a qualifying ticket and saying well done mate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egZ4h...e_gdata_player (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egZ4hZsJkqc&feature=youtube_gdata_player)

The confusion about him qualifying is certainly the premise of the issue. However - he should NOT have pushed past officials to do the burnout. (and that knob shouldn't have kicked the car!)... alot of should-not-have-done's on all parts. Ripper skid though.

As soon as the guy gets out the car he backs the **** off lol

Good work I say, you go there to do a burnout and by christ did he do it. Could of been handled better tho.
