MOTOR racing champion driver Peter Brock has been killed in a racing accident in Western Australia.

 

The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) said in a statement the accident occurred at about 1.50pm (AEST).

 

Sixty-one-year-old

 

Brock's co-driver, believed to Mick Hone, has been taken to hospital in

 

a stable condition. CAMS said it will conduct a full investigation into

 

the incident.

 

In the meantime, CAMS and event officials are working with the relevant civil authorities.

 

"On

 

behalf of the motor sport community, CAMS offers its sincere sympathy

 

to Peter's family and many friends," the statement said.

 

Targa West is a tarmac special stage rally.

Death has few consolations however in both Steve Irwin’s and Peter Brook’s case, both died doing what they loved.

 

There is no doubt that this country has lost two great Australians.

 

Human Life is in truth so fragile, gone in a breath.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

There is all sorts of sermons one could think off in a time like this however all I can think of is Eternity is a long time and we all have an Eternity it’s where we choose to spend is that makes a difference.

The ABC news said the codriver was Mick Hone, would that be the ex roadracer/ultralight builder pilot Mick Hone?
