Flip Tyler Priddy– Professional Career

Flip would soon become one of the names featured in the reality documentary television show “Street Outlaws,” which aired on the Discovery Channel, due to his popularity in racing circles and his association with other famous names.

The show focuses on street racing in the United States, focusing on many racers both in competition and behind the scenes; the racers are seen prioritizing their passion for cars and racing over anything else.

The show’s cast members come from a variety of backgrounds before coming together to share a common interest.

Despite its popularity, the show has sparked some controversy.

Many believed that what the cast members of the show were doing was racing illegally and had prompted a lot of questions.

Despite this, the show has lasted ten seasons, with episodes ranging from eight to fifteen in each season.

Flip was one of two members of the show who passed away, but despite their untimely deaths, the show hasn’t lost any traction and is still going strong.

Flip was found dead in his home in Yukon, Oklahoma in May 2013, at the age of 31 – initial media reports did not confirm any details, but it was later revealed that he died by gunshot, and despite some questioning the conclusion of suicide, the case was quickly closed, and his body was cremated and his ashes were laid to rest at the Hinton Cemetery in Oklahoma. There was no cause given for him to commit suicide.

Following Flip’s death, his car was automatically transferred to Big Chief, who later handed it to Flip’s childhood friend KamiKaze, who adopted it in remembrance of his late friend and later renamed the car Elco after refusing to touch it for more than a year.

When he initially drove it, it caught fire due to stuck brake calipers, but it was later restored. He eventually won the car and planned to improve it even further.

He continues to drive and race the car on tracks and on television, as he stated would have been what his friend desired.
