Cayuga, ON, June 14 - After just one event in 2005 the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA) inaugural season, this new series featuring some of the baddest 2000-horsepower Pro Modifieds around is off to a successful start. While Carl Spiering Motorsports Eaton Cutler-Hammer of Jordan Station, ON, won the first event at Toronto Motorsports Park May 21, PMRA teams and fans alike enjoyed the race, and can't wait for the second event, which will be July 1-3 at Luskville Dragway, just minutes from Ottawa.
"We had a great time TMP," commented Chevy Beretta PMRA driver Jack Grainy. "We're looking forward to the Luskville event. We bent a couple of things, but we're working on the car and will be ready." Quality Plus Camaro driver Lutch Querin was also pleased with the first PMRA event. "We had a good time here (at TMP)," said the PMRA driver. "Everything worked well, and most of all, we had fun." "I think this is great thing for drag racing and for Canadian drag strips," said Luskville owner/promoter Arnie Malcolm. "This event will help bring us to the next level."
Malcolm, who has operated the NHRA-sanctioned strip for 25 years, added his track has been continually upgraded over the years to present the best in drag racing, and the scheduled PMRA event will provide the stimulus to continue to upgrade at the track.
"We're very pleased to get our first race," stated Bruce Mehlenbacher, PMRA Director of Operations. "We're looking forward to working with Arnie and his people." Over $21,000.00 in guaranteed prize money has been posted, with $5,000.00 to the winner of this event.
