The Kohler Road strip, just outside the town of Cayuga, Ontario, is Canada’s oldest drag racing facility, and has been host to many major events throughout its illustrious career. The track is sanctioned by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA), and is the scene of the IHRA ACDelco Canadian Nationals every summer.
"Toronto Motorsports Park is very excited to be part of the PMRA schedule in 2005," explained Track Owner Uli Bieri. "We were pleased to be chosen to host two events and hope our relationship with the Pro Modified Racing Association continues well into the future. These events with the PMRA along with the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series and our regular program of racing fit right into our plans for 2005 and it will be an excellent opportunity for our racers and fans to witness more championship drag racing, added Bieri."
The PMRA will hold races at Toronto Motorsports Park May 20 - 22 and September 2 - 4. With the already-confirmed event at Luskville Dragway situated near Aylmer, Quebec, just 15 minutes from Ottawa, Ontario July 1-3, the series now has three of its five planned events for this year, and is continuing talks with other Ontario and Western New York tracks to fill out its schedule.
“These two events at Toronto Motorsports Park are great,” said Carl Spiering, PMRA Competition Director and also one of the series racers with his Carl Spiering Motorsports Eaton Cutler-Hammer sponsored Corvette Pro Modified. “I believe that all the PMRA teams have raced at Toronto Motorsports Park over their careers, and all of them enjoy racing at this fine facility.”
Joining the PMRA Pro Modified Racing Association at these events will be the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series. The Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series was formed in 1996 and continues to grow each season. The participants, known for their awesome wheelies, are fan favorites wherever they appear.
In its first year of operation, the PMRA will provide fans in Ontario, Quebec, and New York the opportunity to see and hear popular Pro Modified racing in the class known as “the world’s fastest doorslammers.”
The PMRA is a self-governing organization with its own set of technical and safety rules based on the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Pro Modified division. Cars in the PMRA capture the true spirit of hot rodding, and the class offers a widely-diverse group of race cars with different types of 2000-horsepower engines propelling the cars down the quarter-mile in the 6.20-second range at 230 mph.
