Such sad news

R.I.P

Got to work this morning and saw the news. I thought that car and wheels looked way too familiar, and had a bad feeling it was.

Only saw these guys early last night too, what a waste.

My sincere condolences to the families as well. Couple of great blokes.

I now have known way too many people now that have lost their life on the road, even one is too many.

Take it easy guys, no one is immortal.

My sincere condolences to the families and friends of these unfortunate young men.

RIP lads.

OMG i saw this today when i got to work. Thought it was such a tradgic accident. Makes it even worse to be someone you clearly all have so much respect for.

Condolences to all friends, family, and everyone else who knew the guys. I unfortunately did not get the pleasure, but i can see their memories will live on through the forum.

And props to you Nick, for doing the honourable thing, and making a thread for this.

terrible news, its also upsetting to see the media always jumps to the street racer scenario in circumstances like this.

Pretty sure I met these blokes at the meet a few weeks ago. I saw the news this morning and had a feeling that I'd seen the car somewhere.

Even though I had only met them briefly, it's still a massive shock.

It's sad when someone is killed in a crash, but it's even worse when a passenger is innocently taken too.

RIP boys.

Absolute scumbags. Just shows nothing is sacred for the media. They don't even know the facts of the situation, so much for journalistic integrity if there is such a thing.

Thank you guys for your support, I had organised a Track day for Gerards Birthday on the 20th of May.

This is still going ahead as a tribute to both Tom and Gerard, they were amazing guys and no words can express how much they are loved and will be missed.

It is a speed off the streets day, so if you were friends with either of the boys or wish to pay your respects, you are more than welcome to attend.

I will pass on all your kind words to the families involved.

It is a sad day indeed, but any words of support are comforting.

I only met them very briefly, but they will be missed.

I was going to make comment to this in my post but wasn't sure if it was appropriate of me to given the circumstances.

[gtr_scottie]

my condolences go out to those involved i hate hearing this news and no should have this happen driving full stop

[PranK]

My condolences to all affected by this.

As Nick said, the media will likely be trawling forums looking for anything they can use and are already painting negative pictures about the accident;

Nine News understands that text messages are sent out weekly to about 20 people organising meets on the highway.

I'm so sorry that this has happened. We've lost a lot of good people over the years in this club.
