WE JUST LOST ANOTHER ONE.........BROCK IS DEAD.

This is personal....

I went looking for more details but there isn't much out there yet. This is from Wikipedia.

"Unconfirmed reports state Peter Brock died in a racing accident after colliding with a tree during TargaWest '06 in Western Australia."

It has been confirmed now.. At least he went out doing what he loved. Unfortunate for sure.

theres a bit on the Sydney Morning Herald website
Not much but some there
Another one doing what he loved
Damn Wikipedia is quick

Sad day for Motor Racing.

We should never take our icons for granted.
A very sad week for Australia. :(

This is bullsh!t.

Not Brocky

How can he be gone? What's going to happen to Australian Motor Racing now that the man who made it real is gone....

My sincere condolences go out to Bev, and the rest of the Brock family. It's just not right

RIP Pete. You will be missed mate.

holy shit i cant believe it,
still coming to terms with steve, now peter!!
whats going on??

Can't believe it Peter perfect is gone
Rip 05

rest in peace brockie you are a legend, hero and an icon. my thoughts go out to his family. this is bull shit. very unfair. will miss you brockie

Is there anyway we can petition AVESCO to make a "King of the Mountain" trophy immortilising Peter.

I've suggested it on a forum at home (www.importx.co.nz) and so far the idea is supported by 100% of people who have responded.

I originally thought the trophy should go to winner, but others have suggested making it a peoples choice award reflecting his popularity with the fans.

I'll never forget meeting hima Pukekohe a couple of years ago - it started to rain and the V8s were on slicks. He said "good now there is going to be carnage" - obviously a fan like myself who enjoys the odd crash (as long as it is done by those who can afford it aka professional teams).

thats an awesome idea,
honestly im a ford man myself, but just the personality and the character of brocky made him the best, i reckon avesco/cams will award a "peter brock" trophy, maybe for sportsmanship, not winning, like a A.B medal or brownloe medal or something
that would be fitting

There should be a trophy dedicated to Peter Brock. Most certainly. IMO it should be given to the winner of Bathurst each yeat to comemorate the man who was unbeatable for 30 years.....

We will forever miss him on the mountain.

Two great Australian's die in the same week doing what they love best..... what a freak coincidence.

We'll miss you both!

Rest in Peace Steve Irwin & Peter Brock

agree wholeheartedly with the above comments, such a damn shame indeed, what next, john farnham?????

brocky was so well respected because if he fkd up, he would admit he fkd up, unlike other people who would tell everyone a rock jumped out in front of them..

a truly SAD time for motorsport, and australia in general, that man was a living legend. so many good memories left behind, he was still competitive at his advanced age.

from a holden 6 powered austin A30 to a V8 daytona coupe replica, we will remember him!
