What started as a car catch-up at Botany in Sydney’s south has turned into a wild night, leaving two teens in hospital.

Their injuries after being launched from the boot of a car doing burnouts were not considered serious but the issue of hooning is – and locals say they’ve had enough.

The Botany boat ramp was still packed when police arrived last night, telling about 50 car enthusiasts there would be no more warnings, prompting them to scatter.

They were there for a car catch-up but ended up with a front row seat to a sickening incident.

Two teenagers were thrown from the boot of a car doing burnouts.

Paramedics treated the men on the scene and they were stable by the time they went to hospital.

The large group did eventually leave but their marks remained on the road.

Locals say they are not happy.

“There’s a time and place for hooning and it’s on the racetracks by the professionals not youngsters on the roads,” one resident said.

Although the intentions of car catch-up organisers start innocently enough, often they quickly turn illegal and dangerous.

Authorities say speeding, hooning and recklessness behind the wheel are often linked to late night catch-ups.

It’s also an issue in other parts of west and south-west Sydney 

“I think the police need to be on it a little bit more because it’s very prevalent it’s that’s I can hear every Saturday night,” another local said.

Police are still trying to speak with the supposed driver of the car the two teens fell out of.

Police said they visited the home the vehicle was registered to and spoke with the alleged driver’s mother.
