Hearing this took me straight back to watching the #05 Commodore flying across the top of the Mountain, with the whole family gathered around the TV. He always had time for every single fan, and this song is the honest, heartfelt tribute the King of the Mountain truly deserves. Thank you for keeping his memory alive. Rest easy, Brocky. 🏁❤
Growing up, my dad and grandad never stopped talking about Peter Perfect—the #05 flying across the Mountain, the pure magic of Mount Panorama in October, and just how much time he had for every single kid who asked for an autograph. For my generation, he’s like this mythical figure, but this song made him feel so real, human, and alive.
It actually gave me chills. Thank you for making something so genuine that helps younger fans like me feel connected to a legend we only ever got to hear stories about. Rest easy, King of the Mountain. 🏁❤
