Patrick Laurence Buswell, 26, pleaded guilty to one count of interfering with a person's enjoyment or risking safety in Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday.
Police were patrolling the Parkes CBD on January 8, due to an organised car meet in the Coles car park, which bought up to 15 cars to the area.

According to court documents, Buswell was at the meet when he was caught performing a sustained and prolonged loss of traction to the rear wheels of his red Holden commodore ute, which resulted in large plumes of tyre smoke, loud engine noise and two tyre wheel marks on the road.
Parkes Council CCTV footage confirmed Buswell performing the burnout at about 10.21pm, and was in close proximity to pedestrians and an ice creamery operating and serving to children as young as eight-years-old.
Police later contacted Buswell where he made full admissions to being the driver doing the burnout.
His licence plates were seized by police on January 15, due to the nature of the offence.
Defence solicitor Jai Silkman requested the matter be adjourned so Buswell could complete the Traffic Offenders program.
The matter will return to court on April 21 for sentencing.
