Peter Brock was the reason why I loved Motorsport, the reason why I spent a great deal of my hard earned cash on Holden Merchandise. His race track accomplishments will ensure his place in the history of motorsport, but his support to charities, his friendliness and his willingness to jump in and give it a "red hot go" will be the thing that sticks in my mind.

Goodbye Brocky, and thanks for the memories

I was holding it together pretty well, more in shock than anything... "Wait, Peter Brock can't die..."

I jumped in the car to drive home and King of the mountain by midnight oil was playing, felt the tears swelling up but held it together... Then about a half hour later the radio dj says "Yeah I know we played king of the mountain earlier, but stuff it, we'll play it again" and I pretty much lost it then, sitting in traffic and getting pretty teary.

A gentleman of the sport who always had time for his fans. Not only was he almost soley responsible for where Holden is today, but also played a great part in elevating the V8 series from it's amaturish ways into what it is today.

Like Steve, he went doing something he loved. He will be solely missed! May he Rest in Peace.
