The 2012 Summernats Pic Thread...

[Sabbath']

The overall impression i get from both this and other incidents is that Summernats Security and Officials are a bunch of hot-headed roid junkies.

Over-reacting like that one marshal did, kicking the car and then dragging him off the car and pushing him around isnt on. No matter what had happened. That's what security is for. There is nowhere in his job description that includes getting physically violent with competitors, or damaging their cars.

IMO he should also be sacked, and banned from working at future Summernats events because of his unproffesionalism.

Too right, if Steve (nuckinfuts ) is going to receive consequences for his actions, so should that burnout crew member.

Is he the driver? Why respect?

Because he did the best burnout of the event!

Not true. During qualifying he hit the wall and stopped the car. The fire marshall after inspecting the car waved him through to the exit where he approached the next marshall who said "well done" with a big smile and gave him a ticket. No mention of being disqualified. This can be seen clearly on the roof cam footage.

After sitting in line for 4 hours on Sunday he approached the burnout pad and was told he was disqualified. He was miffed by this, understandably, and later said they had 40 hours to notify him of his disqualification so why did they wait till he approached the pad and notify him at the last second. He admits he was wrong in nudging the car forward to move the Marshall's blocking him out of the way and going ahead with his burnout and as mentioned has issued an apology and deeply regrets his actions.

cheers for clearing that up, the amount of stories i heard was ridiclous, what i was told a few times was that he hit the wall sat, and caught fire at the extractors :S therefor the car was declerad unsafe and wasnt aloud to return, and then he "pushed in" on sunday and did that, when i heard that i thought, thats not very good on both parties, but after seeing he was given a ticket after the crash (and no fire lol) i can understand why he did it. I would be pretty pissed to sittng in a car 4 hours waiting. that official had no balls, pushed him and ran off when he (steve) came after him

Official update from the Summernats crew says he is banned from entering at Summernats 26, but his lifetime ban has been lifted on the grounds that nowhere in the rules does it specifically say that disobeying marshall directions will result in a permanent ban. He's been invited to spend next year as part of the burnout crew to 'see what it's like".

After reading that official update I see there is no mention of their part in the problem................
