Absolutely Tragic. I wish the best for Kurt's family.

I think I remember seeing Kurt at the track in uniform and packing a Sig.

A memorial lap sounds like a good idea - catching these guys and tying them to a bike for a four hour endurance race sounds better.

I hope his friends and family are doing O.K.

I'm still in shock about this news....

Kurt was a great guy. I raced and pitted with him many times. If anyone hears when his service will be please post up or PM me.

RIP my friend...

I remember talking with Kurt and his family at the track many times, both at WMRRA events and at OMRRA events. What a wonderful young man. Kurt was always ready to assist anyone who needed help, both racers and staff alike. Many times he volunteered to work a corner when we were short-staffed, so that the rest of the racers could go out and have fun. He always greeted people with a smile and was quick to help out fellow racers when they needed help. His family was at most if not all of his race weekends; a genuinely nice group of people.

You and yours are in our prayers, Kurt. God speed.

I am in shock and disbelief in the world we live in sometimes.

Kurt, Kurts family, you're in my thoughts and prayers.
