That is neither here nor there, I'm saying that street racing is something I did when I was 16 when I was a moron and getting blowjobs from girls who had braces.

LOL

Guys - when your opponent has you in an inescapable hold, just tap out. 

There's no shame in tapping out and living to fight another day.

my wife's cousin got a 430 (regular one) for the apparently daunting task of turning 18.

Another moron with more money than talent

I usually agree with you, but this statement is dumb.  He was a millionaire.  His company is very successful.  People drive fast all the time, this time he paid the price.

Not really , he had more money than driving ability if he had the latter he'd be alive , the car was beyond his skill hence more money than talent . A car like that demands respect

[ManBearPig...]

damn 18 with an F430 lol lucky bastard

yeah, apparently he's quite the ladies man.  imagine that, a high school senior with a 430 is liked by the little skanks.

Guys with lots of driving talent crash fast cars all the time. How do you know the car was beyond this guys skill?  He has had super cars for many years and that night was simply not his lucky night.  Cars like the 430 can lose traction even if you are doing all the right things.  Oil on the road, sand -etc.  Have you ever driven a supercar?  If so what kind and at how fast?

Charles “Mask” Lewis, one of the founding members of the ultra-popular Tapout clothing brand, died in a car crash around 1 a.m. on Wednesday in Newport Beach, Calif., according to a close friend and business partner.

Sherdog.com is awaiting confirmation from Orange County Coroner’s Office spokesman Jim Amormino.

Lewis, a star of the Versus reality TV show “Tapout,” was 45 years old.

He was announced dead at the scene of an accident believed to have involved his red Ferrari and a white Porsche, said Lt. Fox, of the Newport Beach Police Dept.

A female, who was identified as Lewis’ girlfriend by friends, was ejected from the car and rushed to Western Medical Center, where she is believed to be in stable condition.

Authorities have not been able to determine who was driving the Ferrari due to the excessive damage incurred.

The accident was not depicted as a race between cars, although the two vehicles were traveling alongside one another in the same direction on the three-lane Jamboree Road.

“The end of the accident was witnessed by one of our on-duty officers,” said Lt. Fox. “What the officer saw -- he was driving in the opposite direction –- he saw two vehicles out of control, spinning around. One, a red Ferrari hit the curb, struck a pole and broke in half.”

Lt. Fox said the officer observed a white Porsche stop at the scene and then take off a few seconds later southbound on Jamboree Road.

Skid marks were recorded at the scene, said Lt. Fox, denoting high speeds may have been involved.

A second police unit retrieved the Porsche, which also had moderate body damage, a short distance away from the accident on a side street. A man identified as Jeffery D. Kirby and a woman were observed walking away from the vehicle.

“Through an investigation of the officers, it was determined that the male was the driver of the Porsche,” said Lt. Fox.

Kirby, 51, of Costa Mesa, Calif., was arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, while the unidentified female was charged with public intoxication. Kirby is being held on $1 million bail at the Newport Beach Jail.

The well-liked Lewis left an indelible mark in mixed martial arts. As one of three founding members of the “Tapout Crew,” Lewis and his partners debuted their logo in November 1997 and built a multimillion-dollar clothing business virtually from scratch, selling T-shirts out of their cars at grassroots events into the early 2000s. Lewis and his partners were noted for their dedication to the sport’s advancement, as well as their generosity as sponsors to countless MMA fighters.

Lewis also trained with many of the sport’s athletes and was anonymously featured with former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz on the cover of the UFC video game “Throwdown.”

Lewis’ alter ego, the heavily tattooed, face-painted “Mask,” was a fan favorite at events alongside his cohorts “Skyscrape” and “Punkass,” and were known for their outrageous costumes and outgoing behavior. The “Tapout” name quickly became synonymous with the sport, especially with the support it received from the UFC and numerous champion fighters.

The jet-setting trio became the subject of the “Tapout” reality TV series on Versus debuting in June 2007, where the crew toured the nation to scout out promising up-and-comers to don their brand. The series ended its second season in September 2008.

Friends have said that Lewis is survived by a brother.
