 Old mate Steve was just trying to keep it real hahaha.
 
Is it the cams causing that engine to snort angrily every second?  
 
And that marshall.... Dude needs some anger management classes. He's meant to be setting an example out there. Think safety first- If the situation becomes dangerous stand back and let the officials handle it.

 In my opinion the competitors life ban should not have been lifted - forcing your car past officials is unpardonable. If he felt he had a legitimate grievance with being disqualified from running he should have followed the appropriate appeal process, not endanger people by pushing them out of the way with his car. His actions in this instance reinforce the stereotypical impressions that motoring enthusiasts are nothing but "hoons" with total disregard for public safety.
 
Its a sad situation that Summernats are now required to spell out in writing what is really a no brainer - you can not disregard officials/marshalls and endanger people with impunity, no matter how apologetic you are after the fact.

I was also there and I have mates who are good mates with Steve Nogas as he is a local from my area. On saturday in qualifing a fire marshall signalled for him not to drive his car off the pad after he done his skid. However, he didnt realise this and neither did the officials at the end of the pad and they gave him the all clear and said you have qualified for sundays burnouts so off he went happy as larry. Then after lining up for 3hrs on sunday he was told at the last minute no your not allowed on due to disobeying a fire marshall. His ban has been lifted as stated on Summernats website. Wat he done and what security done should never have happened (he himself has publicly addmitted he was in the wrong and apologised for it).
