February 10, 2006 - CLARENCE, NY -- The Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA), www.ProModifiedRacing.com is pleased to announce the return to Western New York’s Lancaster Raceway Park September 15 as part of the PMRA 2006 six-event tour. Lancaster Raceway Park, situated in Clarence, New York, is a one-eighth mile drag strip operating under International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) sanctioning.

Many of the New York-based PMRA competitors consider Lancaster their home track, and have raced at the Niagara Frontier facility many times.

"This will be a terrific event for our fans," said Lancaster Raceway Park's Jim Reid. "We are always trying to bring in the best of shows, and believe the PMRA will offer top-notch racing. The PMRA will give our fans a chance to see local home track stars like Mike Stawicki and Mike Janis. We expect to see fans at Lancaster that we haven't seen there for years."

Lancaster has a long tradition in motorsports. With both a drag strip and a paved oval track, Lancaster has presented the best in racing to fans of Western New York and Southern Ontario. Joining the PMRA Pro Modifieds at Lancaster Raceway Park will be the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series. This popular grass roots drag series, which features competitors from Ontario and New York, was formed in 1996, and continues to grow each season. The participants, known for their awesome wheelies, are fan favorites wherever they appear.
