I just picked up this bit of a quote
"There is also talk of making September 8 a national road safety day. But Ms Brock said Peter would not have approved, considering it was the day he made his biggest error on the road. "He would be mortified. He hated making mistakes. He wouldn't want his most monumental mistake memorialised because it was the one that cost him his life."
So should we have a memorial cruise/fundraiser on Brockys Birthday 26th Feb. To celebrate the birth of the greatest motoring legend and respect his wishes??

What about October long weekend? The date of his greatest victories, as well as hammering the road safety message on the long weekend...?

I am currently updating HTC Events Calendar. I am adding Sund Feb 25th as Peter Brocks Birthday Tribute. It would be great to make this State wide incorporating a fundraiser for the Brock Foundation.

Kaz, why don't we make this the date for the All States Torana cruise, which we would normally run in late Feb/early March?

it seems like the All States Torana Cruise was only being continued by us here in Adel. I would like to dedicate an event on the closest Sund every year to the 26th Feb to the memory of Peter Brock. I think this is something that we could easily 
co-ordinate statewide, to be run by the Torana clubs but open to all who wish to pay respects and a donation to the Brock Foundation.

I reckon that's a top idea Kaz, and I'm sure this sad event will be enough to inspire people to get involved.
