First it was Steve Irwin and now Peter Brock. Shit! How many more Aussie icons have to pass away this week?I've just heard on the news that Peter Brock, an Australian champion racing car driver, was killed in a racing accident while competing in Western Australia's "Targa West" rally. Apparently the accident occured around 1:50pm AEST today.
I'm in shock! I grew up watching Brockie race around Brisbane's Lakeside Raceway. Dad used to take my brother and I to watch every race when the touring cars rolled into town. I was even lucky enough to be present at Lakeside in 1997 when Brockie farewelled full-time racing.
At least he died doing what he loved, I suppose. R.I.P. Brockie! You were my icon!
