    Fritz never gave an inch on the track, but would give you the shirt off his back, or anything else if you needed it.
    You will be missed.
    Godspeed!

    Got to know Fritz pretty well when I raced the WERA Endurance Series with him and Taylor Knap in 2004. Great rider and a great person, he will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

    This news saddens me greatly.

    I used to watch Fritz at Nelson, kicking ass in the mid-late 90's, then go stand just far enough away from his pit so he wouldn't notice me, and watch him before/after some of his races.

    I stood at a distance, because he may as well have been a rock star, movie star, or whatever, and I didn't feel I was priveleged enough to just walk up and say hi.

    I wish I had talked to him.

    RIP, Fritz.

    That's the thing about Fritz, he was totally approachable. He would have given you a big smile and talked to you like he knew you for years. He was an everyday guy, who was extremely good at racing.

    This is really sad news. I met him at Loudon a few years back, what a truly nice, unpretentious guy.
    Godspeed Fritz.
