An ODT photographer at the scene said friends took it in turns doing burnouts, and the road had been closed using road cones.
It was not clear who had closed the road.
Mr Veitch died when a ute he was in left Ravensbourne Rd (State Highway 88), went through a fence early last Sunday, rolled and ended up on railway tracks.
