Two drivers injured in Bathurst crash

Two drivers have been seriously injured in a support race this afternoon ahead of Sunday's V8 Supercar event at Mount Panorama in Bathurst.
The drivers were involved in a three-car accident on the second last lap of the race.
One driver has been flown to Nepean hospital with serious head and chest injuries while the other driver was taken to Bathurst hospital in a critical condition.
A third driver was involved in the crash and taken to Bathurst hospital as a precaution.
The crash has delayed the start to this afternoon's qualifying session for the V8 Supercars.

This year’s Bathurst was going to be tribute to life and death of Peter Brock, looks that it might be honoured with human life sacrifice.

I always like most, after race is finished and everybody is in one piece and alive.

But as some say, people do and die for what they love to do.

Ive seen quite a few tastless SMS's doing the rounds lately re: brocky and steve irwin. One I thought is a cracker though.

"Peter Brock died doing what he loved,
Steve Irwin died doing what he loved,
I'm worried about you guys,
FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T PLAY WITH YOURSELVES!"

Apparently they're having a minute silence on the grid and leaving the front row empty.

Yep what is it about respect that these creepy crawly people dont understand. It goes beyond a tall poppy syndrome - it only makes sense if the tall poppy is viewed from the point of view of a weed ( in my humble opinion)

Agree 20/20, Personally I was not a great PB fan cause he appeared not to treat his wife with respect (but I may not know the facts of course), but inconsiderate jokes about the dead seem uneccessary. Just MO. (He was a great driver though!!)

I'll check the wife part out; have a friend that went to his place a few times. Her 'date' knew brocky quite well.

Hi M/M, I think you'll find he had an affair with his wifes best friend, and left his wife for her, but I am only passing that info on from another source......

PS I read something you wrote in another thread which cracked me right up , but I cant remember where it was now.........I enjoy GSOH, Cheers Barney.

You should all show some respect and stop talking crap about the dead.....take a good look in the mirror.....that's one thing I give the aborigionals they never speak of the dead......RESPECT.

Had lunch and a beer at the spot the other week....a good time for relection with a couple of mates.......the legend still lives on, in our hearts......onya mate!

Brock was great at his sport, but I never quite got over the fact he kicked out the drivers of the second car at Bathurst when his car blew up.
Those poor bastards worked hard to just get a drive on the mountain then the "man" took their drive part way through the race.

I'm not being derogitory, just remembering...

Cheers,

Porter dies from Bathurst crash injuries

V8 driver Mark Porter died on Sunday following the critical injuries he suffered in a crash at Mount Panorama in Bathurst on Friday.
Porter and fellow driver David Clark were involved in a high-speed accident during the second last lap in the first race of the Development Series.
The 31-year-old Porter's Holden Commodore spun sideways after striking a wall. Despite his best efforts, Clark could not stop his Ford Falcon from hitting into the stricken vehicle at an estimated speed of 200 kilometres per hour.
V8 Supercars Australia released a statement on Sunday evening expressing its sympathies for Porter's family and offering support for his wife Adrienne and one-year-old son Flynn.
Clark has regained consciousness and is now breathing unaided, but remains in the intensive care unit of Sydney's Nepean Hospital.
The 28-year-old had been in an induced coma, but is now recovering well from a punctured right lung and fractures to his pelvis, right arm and leg.

Looking for formats, formations, coincidences and correlations in Stock Market, cannot escape thought, that until the next year’s fatality free race, there will be lingering thought of Brock’s Curse.

Great to see Craig Lowndes win (even if he was in a Ford). The most fitting winner as he was Brock's protege, also the most destraught at Brock's passing (outwardly anyway). Nice guy to boot.

Peter Brock, dead
