Why is it... That when i say i like motorsport to a guy... He is instantly turned off?  Is there a problem with females being interested in motorsport?  If so WHY!?!?!

My hero was Peter Brock.  He always was, i don't remember a time without him around.  I went to his funeral, I went to the memorial.  He was my idol, everything he said meant so much to me.  And yet, guys kept bagging me for how upset i was over his death.  Ok so i wasn't a 'friend'.  But Peter had a way of making you feel special when he spoke to you.  It was like you were the only person in the world for those 1 or 2 minutes.  He never put anyone down.  He was a gentleman.  Is it so bad for a female to look up to a male and admire qualities within him?  Is it so bad that everyday i think... OMG he's not here... It can't be true... They must've lied.  And its everyday that i see those same newspaper articles reminding me of that day... The day that my Hero died.

How many people get a state funeral?  How many people, when they die will stop half of Melbourne?  The day of Peter Brocks funeral, Melbourne mourned.  They mourned a racer, they mourned a family member and they mourned a friend.  Peter Brock gave everything he had to everyone.  He was amazing...

Why is it, that people are aloud to have a footy player as their mentor?  male or female it doesn't matter...   But yet when it comes to motorsport... I'M NOT ALOUD TO THINK THAT PETER BROCK IS A GOOD PERSON AND DESERVING OF MY ADMIRATION!
