Damn! My thoughts and prayers are with Fritz and his family.

I'll have something on the way.

 

Really terrible news about a genuine nice guy.

 

agreed. I remember when he showed up at Grattan -- probably early 1980s -- with a huge post-surgery scar on his head from having a tumor removed. Way back then I hoped it wouldn't come to this.

Besides being a great racer he was one genuinely nice guy, the kind of perrson you were always glad you met and always happy to see again.

Sad news for sure.

 

Watching this guy and Rich Oliver was pure entertainment! A 250 and the Yamamonster!!!!

 

Prayers sent Fritz. Alot of good times on the track.

 

I've read this thread about 50 times in disbelief hoping that somehow it wasn't true. I met Fritz a few decades back and I instantly liked him. If you know me, I don't honestly like a lot of people but Fritz was such a good dude that you couldn't help but walk away from talking with him shaking your head at how he could be such a great guy.

I can't get this into my head. I'm just shocked.

 

How about setting up a paypal account?

Wow....

Fritz and his Dad Fred were always friendly and helpful at the races, great guys - and Fritz was a BADASS racer for sure.... I always rooted for him.

This pains me a great deal.... Damn....

 

Nuts.

Yeah, Fritz IS a go-getter. What a neat family too.

Lemme tell you about stealing the VR1000 from Fritz at Pomona...LOL!

Thanks for doing this, Brent. I know we all want to help. It wouldn't be like Fritz to ask.
