  1. Race in Peace, Peter Lenz. God bless his family and all the USGPRU families that were at INDY. It was a beautiful event, and these memories and bonding experience makes for lifetime friendships. I will cherish the memory of Peter autographing his poster for me. He was a true professional and loved everybody in the road racing world. Peter is with God. See you later little buddy.
