this is very sad.....he was here in florida a month ago......he has done a lot for the MMA world and will be missed....

I hate all the tapout guys and I think I said in a thread a few months ago that I wish they would just disappear, but dying is not what I meant. RIP Mask.

he hit a telephone pole, tore his Modena in half. Porche driver did get arrested for manslaughter

he did do A LOT for the MMA world, both for individual figters helping them with sponsorship and getting names for themselves..and also the popularity of MMA in general....But I find it hard to feel sad for someone that was street raceing and almost killed his passenger. I'm sure she wasn't trying to stop him though, could have even been egging him on.

At the risk of sounding insensitive... what an asshole.

RACING some guy in your ferrari makes you an asshole.
Doing so while risking the life of another passenger in your car makes you a huge asshole.
Risking the life of a FEMALE PASSENGER in your FERRARI so you can RACE some dude in a PORSCHE... mega super duper asshole.

I feel bad for her, and his family and friends.

If I had a Ferrari, I would indeed race willing competitors in it. I am an asshole, admittedly.

I would not however, race with a passenger in the car.

no, they are brothers.

thats too bad, he seemed like he was doing a lot of good, despite wearing facepaint all the time. i wonder what will happen to the company and everything now that he's gone.

yes, racing your ferrari just makes you look like a clown (same with his face paint) but people race all the time, and i'd be surprised if no one in here has never driven a car improperly

**higherdesire** · 03-11-2009, 07:00 PM

Punk ass started the company. I saw a deal on TV that said he was the mastermind.

RIP mask.

***FireGuy*** · 03-11-2009, 07:08 PM

It was always a toss up as to which of the 3 bothered me the most but I think Skyscrape or whatever his name is was by far the most annoying.

**CHUCKYthentic** · 03-11-2009, 07:40 PM

**T_Own** · 03-11-2009, 09:55 PM

so was it a modena or a 599? looks like a 599 to me

that thing is mangled.... its amazing someone survived that wreck

**luxifer93** · 03-11-2009, 09:59 PM

He had to be pushing 200, he took out a light pole, and that car is F'D!

**T_Own** · 03-11-2009, 10:15 PM

no way he hits 200 on a tiny street like that. maybe 120-140, those cars are made as light as possible so any wreck is gonna be bad

**luxifer93** · 03-11-2009, 10:22 PM

That roads pretty big, I've seen guys with cars like that racing in that area before. Last time it was a Lambo and a Porsche, I was doing 80 and they FLEW past me, I was like WTF, they were hauling.

It was an older 360 modena, the car the 430 replaced. They didn't make that car very long

The female passenger got ejected. Suprisingly that probably spared her. If you go to Wreckedexotics(dot)com you will see that Ferraris are almost built to split in half when they are wrecked at high speeds. The front cockpit has a firewall between the motor and them, it splits right there

Then Mask won!

**firmechicano831** · 03-12-2009, 07:57 PM

yeah i know the modena was a 360, but in the article it also called it a 599 gtb.
those wheels look like 599 wheels and not 360s
