Default TapOut founder dies

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....
