The
PMRA is excited to announce this new race at one of New York
State's most popular racing facilities. Lancaster Motorsports
Park,
situated in Clarence, New York, is a one-eighth mile drag strip
under
International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) sanctioning. Many of
the
New York-based PMRA competitors consider Lancaster their home
track,
and have raced there many times.
"This will be a terrific event for our fans," said
Lancaster
Motorsports 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, coupled with the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock Series, will give
our
fans a chance to see local home track stars Mike Stawicki, Mike
Janis, and Jim Oddy, along with others such as F.J. Smith, Pete
Fedun, Wally Clark, The Vanni Brothers, and Chuck Nagy. We expect
to
see fans a Lancaster that we haven't seen there for years."
The Lancaster date
is the fourth of five confirmed appearances for
the PMRA for 2005. Two races will be held at Toronto Motorsports
Park May 20 - 22 and September 2 - 4. Luskville Dragway, just
outside of Ottawa in Aylmer, Quebec, will be the scene of the
July
1 -
3 PMRA race. Talks are continuing with several tracks to establish
the fifth venue for this year.
Joining the PMRA Pro
Modified at their events will be the Can-Am Stock/Super Stock
Series. This popular grass-roots drag series
which
features competitors from Ontario and Michigan, 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."
