Doug Herbert Fans

[The Doctor]

Doug is a good friend. Son of Chet Herbert of "Herbert Cams" fame. He's now a successful performance parts vendor and occassional NHRA Top Fuel driver although lately he's been creeping up on some sponsorship opportunities that could put him back in the seat sooner than later. While testing in Phoenix a few years back he got the news that his two sons James and Jon were both killed in the same auto accident. More tragic than most could bear but Doug started the BRAKES (Be Responsible And Keep Everyone Safe) program as a legacy to their memory. He's now trained thousands of teen agers to handle "unique" road conditions and driving tips that have no-doubt saved lives - maybe many lives. What a way to honor your lost family members?

He's a three time IHRA series champion! He's won ten NHRA events and he's done some things that make him stand out far beyond that of racing. He's an accomplished large jet pilot and has owned his own jets over the years. Some of the charity work he has done has defined him for guys like me. The assistance he provided fellow racer, Billy Williams gave me the perfect picture of who Doug was. He's as good a man as I know and you are lucky to have this piece of history.

He was probability the nicest and most gracious person I ever met in a racing aspect, so all of what you said, I second. I did not know that about his sons, very sad.

Doug is an incredible guy who is very giving in many ways. In regards to your helmet if you want to sell it put it up on E-bay or maybe donate it back to B.R.A.K.E.S. to sell at a silent auction to help with Doug's cause... http://www.putonthebrakes.com/

Probably one the craziest motor explosions i ever seen was by Doug about 10 years ago at pomona, we were sitting towards the top of the stands and a peice of metal bounced off my buddies forhead.

Probably the most violent I've ever seen as well. A kid was walking the pits with his fuel pump which went over the stands into the pits and Doug bought it back from the kid on the spot for $100. I think there are still parts from that one in parts of Pomona.

Hey RR350, are you a bench racer? Every NHRA Sun we plan to have a little get together here to discuss who's the best driver.

We should start on Friday. And We already know Courtney is the best. She's just gained some unnecessary weight she needs to dump
