HAMILTON, ON (March 22, 2006) – With a new engine package and a strong showing in the final round of last year’s series, Hamilton’s Bruce Boland is looking to improve his performance in the upcoming Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA), www.ProModifiedRacing.com, season.

“Regrettably, we missed one PMRA event last year”, said Boland, who has raced in the Pro Mod ranks since 1995. “That was unfortunate when you look back at it now. That one event would have moved us into at least second place in the points.”

Boland, in the Excel Motorsports and Pro Racing Fuels-sponsored entry, won the final Pro Modified Racing Association event at Lancaster Raceway Park late in 2005. He placed fifth in the 2005 PMRA standings.

The B&B Racing entry, owned by John Wilks is powered by a new 526-cubic inch Alan Johnson power plant, a Blower Drive Service (BDS) Supercharger, and a Waterman fuel system, all united to a Lenco three-speed transmission with Crower clutch.

"We have upgraded to a new Alan Johnson engine which will give us some extra horsepower,” Boland, driver of the B&B Racing 526-cubic inch–powered 1933 Willys, added. "Our plan is to run all of the PMRA events and selected Super Chevy Shows in ’06.”

The PMRA has five events confirmed for the 2006 season, the KC Auto Parts Family Day Celebration at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, ON, Saturday, June 24, at Lancaster Raceway Park in Clarence, NY on September 15 and the Pro Modified Racing Association is pleased to be running inaugural events at St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta, ON, August 5 and 6, the Eaton PMRA Challenge at Sanair near Montreal scheduled for Saturday, August 19, and at the Grand Bend Motorplex, over the Labor Day weekend.
