NHRA is furthering its mission of promoting safe driving by hosting 12 B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Pro-Active Driving Schools in 2010 at the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, beginning with the first one the weekend of March 13-14.
B.R.A.K.E.S., a 501(c)(3), safe driving charity, founded by NHRA Top Fuel drag racer Doug Herbert, has already put hundreds of teenagers through the school, which is designed to give young drivers the dynamic experience of handling a vehicle in adverse driving conditions and in a controlled environment.
“B.R.A.K.E.S. has been an extremely successful program in the Southeast United States and we are honored to bring the program and what it stands for to Southern California,” said Tom Compton, president, NHRA. “The program’s success can be directly attributed to the passion and commitment of Doug Herbert to educate young drivers on safe driving skills.”
