young man 
Didn't we lose another young racer in a similar situation a year or two ago? 2 too many
13 year old Peter Lenz? Holy cow. That sends chills up my spine.
I have a great respenct for his parents, enabling him to participate in this sport and giving him more support than most people could ever hope for.

Very tragic. Peter was a nice kid. Met and raced him a few times with WERA. I can't imagine what his parents are going through. I wish them the best.

Only met him once or twice but he seemed like a great person both on and off the track. I can't imagine the feeling his family must have right now. I know all the folks at the Superbike School were very close to him as well. He had a lot of friends, and a lot of people looked kindly on him. It's a terrible tragedy for sure... I still can't quite believe it. It's a shame that the sport we all love can be so unforgiving. Especially for a youngster like Peter. All the best to his family and friends in this hard time. RIP Peter.
Rest in Peace Peter. I'm honored to have met you between this world and the next.

I have so much love for seeing young people being committed and involved with life on such an intense level.
The other side of that is this...
I never met him, but he inspired me all the same.
