What are your thoughts?

i think it is a good idea how meny ppl would be stopping there next year at the time of his death?

[vr_owner]

thats bulls**t they should have left it there in honour of brock and maybe put somethign around it to protect it. but not much can be done now its gone

well it wont make any diffrance, ppl will still gather but would be nice to see the tree be put to use in a memorual site

[bbad13]

the tree would have died as well and they should use it in a memorial and as it says " near the tree which is on a sharp bend with little visibility.
Other cars coming down the steep hill might not see them stopped on the road, or pulling in or out of the road verge, in time to prevent an accident."

Well I'm glad the council has taken action in removing a road hazzard which resulted in a tragic death ! However, the council shifting everything that was left at the site in rememberance to another location is a bit hard to swallow.

I'd rather see it burn ! Who in there right mind would want to see the object that ended Brocks life as a memorial ?

I'd rather see a statue of Brocky alongside one of his famous 05's !

What did the tree ever do.... brocky crashed into it, it didn't crash into brock, should left it there. Wonder how long until we see pieces of "Tree that killed Brock" on ebay

[Patrio7]

Personally i think good on them for removing a hazard and to help stop people parking in silly places only to have further accidents.

though something like a marking, plauqe or similar would be ok imho

[gopher]

it's only a tree

[vy_storm]

Wasn't the other issue that it has claimed several lives before PB's accident?

I had been thinking some idiot would cut that tree down but I didn't think it would be the council that did it, that's the last thing Peter Brock would have wanted, he probably would have chained himself to it. It also shows how little they know about trees if they are saying you can kill a gum tree by killing the bark on one side, there's no chance it would die. It not going to make the corner safer either, if it's not going to be that tree that stops you it will be the one behind it or the one behind that. Anyway you don't go around killing stuff just because someone crashed into it, bunch of noobs that's all I can come up with

I AGREE, the way i see it is, if it was left there it could be a reminder to everyone that anything can happen.

Now drivers will go straight through where that tree was and hit the next one. But not before possibly hitting the stump and rolling it (very unlikely but possible).

[flyen]

lets remember him for what he did not where he died

[V-ahhh]

yeah i don't think brock would have wanted 2 be remembered by a tree

[andyman]

on the news they said numerous people have been killed by running into that tree
