Speed Kills : (
AP posted: 3 HOURS 20 MINUTES AGO NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (March 11) - Mixed martial arts figure "Mask," who co-founded the TapouT clothing line, was killed early Wednesday when his $300,000 Ferrari crashed and was torn in half. The driver of another car was arrested for investigation of manslaughter. Skip over this content Don Leach, Daily Pilot 7 photos Click below link (Note: Please disable your pop-up blocker)
TapouT announced the death of Charles "Mask" Lewis Jr. in a statement and said a memorial service was being planned. However, the Orange County coroner's office did not immediately confirm his identity. Police said the crash occurred shortly before 1 a.m. on Jamboree Boulevard, a major street in wealthy Newport Beach. A patrol officer saw the red 2004 Ferrari Modena and a white 1977 Porsche coupe spinning out of control, possibly as a result of a collision, police Lt. Craig Fox said in a statement. "We believe they were going fast based on the skids and the damage to the vehicle," Fox told KABC-TV. "But we can't speculate at this point if they were racing or not." The Ferrari hit a curb, then knocked over a light pole that fell on it and the car was torn in half, Fox said. Lewis died at the scene.

WOW!! That's crazy how the Ferrari split in half. I guess HE got tapped out. I bet he would have survived if he had a Monte.
This is the main reason why i try to teach my son that if he ever wants to race, to take it to the track. I told him that if i ever catch him street racing, i will bend him over my knee right then and there. I dont care if his friends are laughing at him or not. I'de rather have them laugh then mourn.

It's all very sad :( Especially when they have to money to rent a whole race track for their exotic `rides. If I had that kinda $ :) I would build my own track, and race all my friends :) Brock, thanks for making over 500 posts to the MCF, and for helping other members. We do have some super members 4-Sure. Take it 2 the Track Oh, Record/Submit Vid's :) Peace/Out :cool: |
Like most everybody, I'm guilty of street racing when I was young and stupid. Just lucky I didn't cause an accident.
The province of Ontario here has made it extremely tough on people who get caught street racing. Going 50 kph (roughly 30 mph) over the speed limit, gets your licence torn up on the spot, your car impounded by the police for a minimum of a week, and a mandatory court appearance where a judge decides how much your fine is going to be. |
