    tiggen Things are lookin' up.

    One of the few people on this board that I catually knew, Kurt was the guy in the big cowboy hat who took me under his wing at a Tally track day when I came to shake down my Ninja 250. For the next three years if I had a question about anything, he was the guy I went to and he always had time for me. He was solid as a rock. The limited interaction I saw between him and his family lead me to believe that he was a good father and husband.

    Rest in peace, Kurt. You will be missed. Prayers for Deidre and the kids. I hope that they will eventually find peace.

    So terribly saddened by this news. Kurt was one of the first friends I made riding WERA. The first night we met I retired early and was already sleeping when he noticed my generator was seeping fuel. He barely knew me but just fabricated a makeshift fuel line clamp with safety wire rather than wake me up.

    He was just that kind of guy who made the world a better place everywhere he went. RIP old buddy. So sad for Diedra and the kids.

    Anyone got that picture of Kurt wearing the cowboy hat holding a chainsaw standing on a log in the water? That was a badass pic of Kurt. I'd like to download that and have it printed to keep in my shop.

    Damn this one hurts, Kurt was a great guy and will be greatly missed. Always been a fixture in the WERA paddock as long as I've been racing. Prayers go out to his family.

    Wow.
    Didn't see this one coming.
    Kurt was a good man willing to lend a hand to anyone.
    It is sad that no one is safe these days.
    Prayers to his wife and kids.
    Still can't believe.
