Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
wrap me up in cotton wool and throw me in a padded cell ... thats the only safe place these days!
RIP Brocky
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
Peter Brock
26/2/45 - 8/9/2006
RIP

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
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.
Rest in Peace Brokkie....you bought joy to millions of Aussies over many years...
RIP Brock...![]()
Every forwards dream is to become a back...

The King is dead, long live the King!
