Very sad news. It seems the older brother was driving too fast and tries to pass when he shouldn't.

This story claims one parent of a friend did not allow his son to ride with Herbert because he didn't like the way Herbert drove and thought he would kill somebody someday:

This story has an interesting picture with it. Looks like Doug gave his son an Injen intake for Christmas:

Drive safe out there people.

sad. a guy from our local racing forum just died this weekend in an accident. not sure on the details, but he was going east on the freeway, lost control, went into westbound lanes, hit another car head on

split his GTO into 2, threw him from the car, DOA, and the other driver (20 y/o female) is still in critical condition
