SummerNats Australia 2012 - How to get banned

What seems to have happened is that the driver Steve Nogas was told he was disqualified for a reason stemming back to his qualifying burnout (disobeying a fire Marshal), he forced his car through a group of officials and on to the track, and after the burnout he was escorted from the track and his car towed away.

you can forward to ~0:50

That dude is a dipshit.

Indeed, but I think the bigger dipshit is the guy in the orange who kicked his car and tried to push him when he got out.
he sat around for hours waiting for his next run, when they stopped him on the grid just before it was his turn again. they told him he was out... then he went fuck it and pushed through anyway

the dude's qualifying round

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egZ4hZsJkqc

from youtube description

"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."

I don't disagree with that either. I'd say he was clearly out of line... however, you don't basically PUSH your way through event staff and expect to walk away without some kinda altercation.... :roflpicard:
