A Second Death

[edit]

I undid the recent revision as Mark Porter's death did not occur in this race. It's an article specifically about the race, so his death is not relevant beyond the fact that it caused a driver substitution. A long story of his death should go onto a page on the relevant Fujitsu series round.

Additionally stating that Porter is the only driver to have died in a V8Supercar race at Bathurst is while accurate not a statement that belongs in this article. It is disrespectful to Don Watson for example who died in a V8Supercar qualifying for the Bathurst 1000. Also Denny Hulme and Mike Burgmann who died in the Bathurst 1000 but not in V8Supercars.

I'm not adverse to a mention being made of Porter's death, but it needs to be written in the context of how it affected this particular race. --Falcadore 07:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
