Cheeky police have issued a definitive reply to “crybaby” hoons demanding they build a place to do their burnouts.
Just days after busting a spate of illegal street meets, officers in Melbourne’s northwest have been inundated with revhead requests to build a burnout pad — an area where hoons can compete legally.
But police made the answer clear this afternoon, posting a photo to the Brimbank Eyewatch page of a crying baby mid-tantrum and the words: “Build me a burnout pad”.
“Brimbank HWP would like to clarify a few issues concerning a previous post regarding hoon activity,’’ the post read.
“Many drivers take part in car club runs, car shows, motorkhana, drag racing, and drift events.
“The HWP fully support those that participate in these genuine legal events — often attending in an official capacity.
“Those attending illegal gatherings do so with full knowledge that is illegal.
“The HWP have been accused of not having a sense of humour around this issue.
“The definitive answer is Brimbank HWP will not be building a burnout pad.”

The post has already attracted dozens of posts.
“I’m here to see the sooky comments,’’ one wrote.
Others backed having a place for hoons to compete legally.
“No burnout pad = more burnouts in industrial estates,’’ they wrote.
More than 300 people were busted at hoon meets in Sunshine West, Tullamarine, Derrimut and Keilor Park on Monday night.
Those caught were facing more than $240,000 in council fines in a bold new crackdown revealed in the Sunday Herald Sun.
