TapOut founder dies

[nvr2fst]

I read today that Charles Lewis the founder of Tap Out (mask) died in a horrible car crash in LA driving his ferrari. The car was split in two after hitting a pole. Anybody has access to the photo from the article. My son is a big fan of those guys.

Looks like he was racing a Porsche... Stupid way to end your life.

Moral of story, keep it at the track.

Yea, I read about it yesterday. That really sucks. Hope his friends and family manage thru this. He was well liked in the MMA community. What a terrible way to go at such a young age.

Heard about this. Charles was a friend of Steves from DW Motorsports (the guys who built the Joker Chevelle). I think he even bought a car from Steve. Terrible news....

I wasn't able to see the photos at the time i posted this. Unbelievable devastation. It is pictured way worse than how I read it in the paper.
Its terrible to see an individual like that die the way he did especially with the following he had with kids. I hate to say it but that sure wasnt setting an example for his younger fans including my son.

Everybody is human and there is probably an instance in all our lives where this could have happened. Today I wouldn't be drag racing on PCH. Hell I'd rather walk. :D It's a shame and I feel for all those involved.

Agreed and well put, as Im thinking about my past.

I read the other driver was arrested I wonder if it was someone he knew?
