If you haven't had a chance to attend a Put On The Brakes Benefit Event, here is your chance. The opportunity to help those in need, help to get the word out, and hang with NHRA and NASCAR Drivers. Doug Herbert and B.R.A.K.E.S are sponsoring the "Take it to the Track" Golf Tournament & 5th Annual Benefit Dinner on Thursday, September 13, 2012 in Concord, NC. This will prior to the NHRA O'Reilly Auto Parts Nationals in Charlotte, NC 9/14 through 9/16 at zMax Dragway. Here is the information on the Event:
B.R.A.K.E.S WILL “GO ROUNDS” WITH NHRA STARS AT BENEFIT GOLF TOURNEY
Drag racers spend most of their time “going rounds” as they compete on the NHRA’s Full
Throttle national event schedule. But on Thursday, September 13th, prior to the running of the O’Reilly Auto Parts Nationals at zMax Dragway in Concord, NC, those same NHRA stars will be going rounds of a different kind as they join their fans on the beautiful Rocky River Golf Course adjacent to zMax for the B.R.A.K.E.S. Benefit Golf Tournament.
All NHRA fans and those looking to help support B.R.A.K.E.S. (Be Responsible and Keep Everyone Safe, a 501c3 non-profit organization) are invited to take part in this upbeat fund-raising event, offering them the chance to play side-by-side with their favorite NHRA drivers.
“This is the kind of event that benefits everyone in some way,” says B.R.A.K.E.S. founder and Top Fuel veteran Doug Herbert. “The drivers get a chance to have some fun and get to know their fans a little better; the fans have a golden opportunity to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the proceeds will help B.R.A.K.E.S. continue its efforts to teach young drivers safer and more conscientious driving skills.”
Many of the NHRA’s brightest stars are expected to participate with awards planned for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place finishers, while contests for Closest To the Pin, Hole In One, and Longest Drive will also be held. Lunch will be provided and shuttle buses will be in service from the Embassy Suites Hotel and zMax Dragway to Rocky River Golf Course.
The event will conclude that evening with the 5th Annual B.R.A.K.E.S. Dinner held at the Embassy Suites Hotel. Details will be coming soon.
The Golf Tournament entry fee for a single player is $100, $400 per team with foursomes available. Professional drivers will enjoy complimentary registration.
“I hope everyone will set aside that date and come out for a great game of golf on a truly outstanding course,” adds Herbert. “We’d like to see a big turnout and find out if these racers can swing a club as well as they can get down a racetrack.”
