Putty Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 The owner of the TapouT MMA clothing line died this morning when his "ultra-rare" $300,000 Ferrari crashed into a light pole, ripping the car in half. (Not my words) RIP!! http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2009/03/tapout-founder.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 They charged a guy with being drunk and driving. His bail is set at 1million dollars. Sounds to me like either 1. He was racing a drunk guy or 2. He got hit by some random drunk dude. Either way its shitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragknee66 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 AGH WTF is this crap. Before he broke into the mixed martial arts scene, Lewis, 45, was a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy who worked at the Central Detention Center in downtown San Bernardino from December 1996 to May 1998. The Ferrari had "confidential plates" registered with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department because Lewis was a former deputy. And this dude is going down for sure now... In the 2001 drunk driving arrest, Kirby allegedly told the arresting officer that his father was a retired CHP patrolman who always advised him to never submit to a sobriety test. He also told the officer that "he shouldn't be picking on people with money," according to the police report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Was just about to post this. I actually got into the show TapOut after awhile and enjoyed it. The guy really did seem to genuinely care about the fighters they chose to represent. Not to mention, the goofy antics and "in-house" joking amongst the 3 men/promoters.
