ON THIS DAY: April 30

Delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

On this day in 2011, Supercars drivers were warned that post-race burn-out celebrations were banned.

Drivers were reminded of this during their briefing at Wanneroo Raceway (nee: Barbagallo) ahead of the Perth round.

Steven Johnson didn’t agree with the ban, “To be honest, I don’t understand. I understand the TV scheduling and its constraints, but we’re being told to drive around and put our hand out the window and wave. Not many people think that’s exciting.”

Take a trip down Speedcafe.com memory lane on this day, April 30.
