TMZ has learned Charles Lewis Jr. -- aka "Mask" -- was driving his Ferrari Modena in Orange County, Calif. around 1:00 AM this morning when cops say it "left the roadway, hit the curb, took out a light pole."

"Mask" was declared dead at the scene. A female passenger -- who was ejected from the crash -- was taken to a local hospital, but we're told she's in bad shape.

Cops believe "Mask" was racing a guy in a Porsche at the time of the crash, and authorities have since arrested the guy they believe was driving the other car. That man -- Jeffrey David Kirby -- is being held on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter.

UPDATE: A rep for TapouT released this statement: "It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we must regretfully confirm the passing of our beloved friend, brother and co-founder Charles "Mask" Lewis following a car accident that occurred last night. We are currently in the process of setting up a memorial service in his honor and will release more details as they become available. Many thanks to all for the outpouring of blessings and well-wishes during this incredibly difficult time."

Werd. 'Eccentric' doesn't do the guy justice. However, his work to bring attention to the sport, as a sport, was great.

I bet the other 2 guys cut his brake lines so they could take over the business, and get rid of the weirdo.

the guy on the right has a tatty of a bill

hahahah the guy on the right is a tank
he looks like his name should be tito gomez or some shit

owell
RIP mask

Damn. He didn't get to spend all that $$$. Nonetheless RIP.

I thought Tito Ortiz owned Tap-Out. I was very much hoping for his death...Still am.

Fuck all the douches who are Ed Hardy, Tapout, and Affiliction tools

Shiett...I wonder how fast he was going..

Anybody noticing that in just about all these major crashes in a Ferrari, the car is split in half?

He should've told the guy in the Porsche to 'Tap-Out'

They're using that mid-engine rotation to go into utility poles sideways.
