 ''God Bless Peter and the other
rider involved. 45 is on another road we can only hope to reach. Miss
you kiddo.''13-year-old motorcycle racer Peter Lenz of Vancouver, died Sunday after falling off his bike and getting run over by another motorcycle at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The accomplished teenage rider crashed on a warmup lap before his race and was struck by 12-year-old Xavier Zayat, who was uninjured in the accident. Medical workers immediately placed Lenz in a neck brace, put him on a stretcher and began chest compressions while taking him to a hospital. The coroner confirmed his death about 3 hours later, the first at the speedway since IndyCar driver Tony Renna was killed in October 2003. 
 * Hot Pages* Amazing Roger Federer trickshot (Video) ''Peter passed away early this morning when he was apparently struck by another rider,'' said a posting Sunday on Lenz's Facebook page, which was signed ''Dad.'' ''He passed doing what he loved and had his go fast face on as he pulled onto the track'' the posting said. "The world lost one of its brightest lights today. God Bless Peter and the other rider involved. 45 is on another road we can only hope to reach. Miss you kiddo.'' Track officials confirmed that Lenz is the youngest racer killed at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which opened in 1909 and has been used by numerous series ever since. Despite being only 13 years old and listing his profession on the Grand Prix website as "kid," Lenz was already a well-known racer. He had been riding bikes for six years, won nine national championships and nine regional titles, and appeared to be a rising star in a series that bills itself as a prep for riders 12 to 18 who hope to compete at a higher level. Those races are not typically held in conjunction with MotoGP events. The fatal accident Sunday will almost certainly spark a debate about how young is too young for racers to be competing on one of the world's best-known tracks, whether it's inside a car or riding a motorcycle capable of speeds well over 100 mph. MotoGP riders Colin Edwards and Ben Spies competed at even higher levels as teens. Edwards ran his first 250cc race at 17, while Spies made his first start in the 125cc series at 12. * Philippine tragedy! Fool Filipino! (Video - Slideshow) * Greece VS.
