IRT FuzzyBear

Its been 1 year since we lost Fuzzy, but I thought he deserves to have profile here.



Anthony "FuzzyBear" Mitchell
3/27/89 - 8/8/12

Fuzzy was part of IRT - a team for having nearly all of the circuit #1 records, Fuzzy was their Fujimi Division, and also was on the touge team, Garage Kaido.

While Fuzzy was alive and for many months after, he was the #1 on the P2P overall leaderboard.


Whether you knew him or not, He was an amazing driver, He could sit down for about 2 hours and re-claim about 10 different #1 leaderboard spots. (Yes, this means he was using a Forza Aero'd Lotus...but still, he was the absolute fastest). This didn't mean he was slow in normal touge cars either, I believe he was the first one I ever saw do a 34, back when the next fastest racers were hitting 36s and 37s.

Not only was he the fastest driver, but for those who actually got to know him, he was also one of the nicest and most helpful person I have also ever met and I know that the others who got to know him can say the same.

I could go on and on about all the great and fun times etc, but that is what this thread is for, share your Fuzzy stories, whatever it may be.

Rest in peace buddy! You were one of the great friends I had made early on on Forza and the Touge Scene, certainly were a big inspiration.

Fuzzy's memorial thread over on FM.net - http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/4/5644159/ShowThread.aspx

This sticker is on my Storefront for anyone to use.





A memorial run that we had, the morning after we heard the news,.

When I was battling for the #1 spot in Drift Muscle I competed with his sticker on my hood, me and Steve had a decal in his memory

Rest forever in touge heaven my dude!

My friend Raceboy, who was the guy i mentioned being fast, brought up Fuzzy today. I guess they knew each other and raced together. Small world.

It's already been a year huh?  Time sure flies.  Back when FM4 came out and the touge scene became a thing I did numerous friendly uphill matches with "one mean regal", slowly getting faster and faster with my NSX.  It was only after he passed away that I learned it was actually Fuzzy in his secondary account the whole time.

rip fuzzy damn i can not believe its been a year already!!

wish I came onto the touge scene earlier so I actually got to know him

Good idea Mind, he defenitely deserves a driver profile.

RIP Fuzz

Same here, I would have loved to know him.

didnt know him but from what i hear he sounds like he was a goodfella. i pay my respects

I pay my respects. He was a good man and a good spirit and did not deserve to die like that.

i say the same as bukkaz.
I dont think i remember playing against him as much as i did against Obelisk, Slime, and a few other touge racers out there.
I think i realized how to drive on the touge after I changed my downhill 86 from an A class to B class which was back in March.
hehe
Still the world has lost one really good racer by the sounds of it

Just for this guy's honor, here are some quotes:

William Shakespeare wrote:

When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.”

Ian Fleming wrote:

"You only live twice:
Once when you're born
And once when you look death in the face.”

A wonderful star was put out this time last year. His ashes blow away in the wind. Let us honor him with the sounds of the passion of which he loved the most: Racing. From now on, every race I do, win or lose, is for Anthony Mitchell.

I ran with him only 3 times, first time was when i was driving the s2k as my main, the other 2 were in the fd, and man was he fast, handed my ass like nothing but what i respect about him is that he wasnt the cocky arrogant type, no he was the way opposite. He taught me how to take each line for corners i had struggled with how to keep the car balanced and most of all no matter how much you win or lose by, just to show respect and have fun. To me he is the true king and true fastest on the touge in FM4 and that wont change for me. Cant believe its been a year already RIP Ant The True Ghost Of Fujimi Kaido

NO. WAY.

I don't think he was an 86 driver, or an R32 driver...

No he drove a lot of different cars never had a set one as far as i remembered but i do know he was fast with almost any car he drove

Happy Birthday Ant! Miss racing with ya

Happy Birthday, Ant!

Those uphill races we did back then are still one of my favorite memories from FM4. It was fun racing with ya, Happy Birthday Fuzzy.

Hpd yo.
Can't recall any good memories
But that ain't a reason to not respect him

Happy birthday, Fuzzy. I never got to meet you but I wish I did.
