The King is Dead

The King of the Mountain, Peter Brock, died today. Unfortunately, he was a Holden driver, but nonetheless, a champion Aussie. At least he went out with a true race-drivers death (if thats any consolation). At age 61, thats a pretty good way to go - still racing at a relatively elite level. It seems that the accident was a case of not seeing the sudden curve 'till its way to late! And then he was dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun. Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning... car?

...And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell....
