Super Truck Founder Banned From Competing In Australia After Doing Donuts On A Public Road
Stadium Super Truck racer Robby Gordon has been handed an indefinite visa ban by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) for doing doughnuts on a public road last Saturday.
He was also fined more than $4000 (Aus) by the courts for the very unsubtle bit of hooning you see above. CAMS has condemned Gordon - who also happens to be the owner and founder the Stadium Super Trucks series - and will prevent him from getting a visa to be able to compete in Australia indefinitely.
“Such irresponsible behaviour in a racing vehicle and in an uncontrolled environment on a public road is simply inexcusable,” the CAMS statement reads, “and it has the potential to harm the reputation and integrity of our sport across all levels.”
In court, the judge said it was important to keep motorsport and public road driving separate.
“So-called ‘hoon’ behaviour is not respective of our values, and won’t be tolerated,” he said. “We are disappointed that this incident is not demonstrative of the requisite level of professionalism demanded by modern motorsport.”

Banned from racing becouse he is too cool

Oh yea Dodge
Except the demon isnt cool…
At least Hennessey is saving the Dodge Demon.
Is Austrialia controlled by leftists now?
probably. everyone is pretty backwards about things. The whole nanny state concept is very true to Australia.
Nahh, still right wing like it’s always been.
Has been for a few years now
Speaking as an Australian, it’s usually bastards like these doing burnouts on the street fcking over any car culture we have because immediately after cops decide to a*hole many modified car.
People do burnouts all the time in Aus, get in their HSV or falcon and chuck some doughnuts. It happens all the time so why are they loosing over the same thing just with a bigger vehicle (super truck)
4000$ aus? That’s a coffee at McDonald’s in the US?
Kinda have to agree that this is not for public streets but this looks like a typical “let’s make an example of this guy” case.
Yea, it’s kinda sad…
It’s guys like this that make the government and police think we’re all the same here in Australia…
“So-called ‘hoon’ behavior is not respective of our values, and won’t be tolerated,”
I don’t understand this, Australians are like the closest you’ll ever get to a proper “Hoonigan”, I mean they have stinking burnout competitions and everything.
From my point of view maybe it’s to do with our furthest heritage with Holden and Ford and how motorsport was very important in our views of which car to buy, and stemming from that the fact that in the old days essentially what you saw on a racetrack you could buy and drive on the road for yourself and the government in 1972 shat itself that race homologation specials were available to the public, except that they were in limited numbers and would have been too expensive to be a major danger to the public
Aus does not equal U.S.
F*cking Aussie police again!!! Biggest load of petty kill-joys ever
u just don’t understand why robby decided do to this on a street. you HAVE all the possibilities to do it legally, he races these on a racetrack with jumps in them ffs. australia has the biggest and best burnout competitions in the world. they made hooning into a god damn sport so why in the hell would you still go ahead and do stuff like this on the open road?
If it was anyone else, then there would be very little opportunity to do it legally and only if you’re in the know
