A hoon driver has been filmed performing a burnout at a cemetery to pay tribute to a father-of-six who died in a bizarre motorcycle crash.
The red ute was seen sending up a thick column of smoke at Enfield Cemetery, in Adelaide.
Nearby spectators cheered on the driver as they tore down the street, skidding onto the other side of the road.
The dangerous spectacle was performed to pay respect to John Hadley, 45, who died in a motorcycle crash on March 10.

The father had crashed his motorbike on Whittington Street, in Enfield, before his friends bundled him into a car and drove him away.
He was then dumped on a footpath on Mark Court at Ingle Farm, eight kilometres away from the crash site.
Paramedics received calls of a man lying unconscious on a footpath and were unable to revive him when they arrived on scene.
The father-of-six was laid to rest at the Enfield Cemetery when he was given the unorthodox farewell.
Eric Taylor, who was visiting the cemetery at the time of the burnout, labelled it ‘frightening’.
‘It’s a dreadful state of affairs that you come here and you have to put up with hoons basically. It makes it a bit frightening,’ he told 7 News.

‘Little children, if they don’t realise what’s going on, it could be a tragedy.’
The Adelaide Cemeteries Authority has slammed it as, ‘disappointing, inappropriate and unacceptable.’
A South Australia Police spokesperson said officers are investigating the footage.
‘The practice of doing a ‘burnout’ is not only reckless but also dangerous and it can have devastating consequences,’ the spokesperson said.
‘Drivers can be issued with on the spot fines and can also lose their licence or have their vehicle impounded.’
