B.R.A.K.E.S.is an organization sparked out of tragedy, but aimed at safety. On January 26th, 2008, Doug Herbert experienced every parents worst nightmare. His two sons, Jon 17 and James 12, lost thier lives in a tragic car accident in Cornelius, North Carolina. This horrible loss pushed the boys' father Doug Herbert and Jon's friends from their school to pull together and make a difference in the way teens think about driving. B.R.A.K.E.S.' goal is to encourage young drivers to be more careful driving on the street, and that racing should be done on the race track, not the street. The name B.R.A.K.E.S. contains the message that they want to get across.
We have lots of plans including rewarding young drivers that keep clean diving records with prizes like trips to NHRA & NASCAR races, Jeff Gordon & Mario Andretti Racing school certificates and many other things. Notices of all the great things we will be doing will be sent out on bulletins from B.R.A.K.E.S. so please add us as a friend. Even make us a top friend if you would. We need to get the message out and try to save some kid's lives and save some parents from going through what I am going through. Thanks everyone. Sincerely,
Doug Herbert Together we can put the BRAKES on wreckless driving.
