PMRA
Heads To New York Again! |
 Cayuga,
Ontario (February 22, 2005) - CAYUGA, ON - The Pro Modified Racing
Association (PMRA) has announced the fifth and final stop for its
inaugural 2005 season.
"We are excited about this new series coming to our track," said Skyview's Special Events Director Mike Key. "We feel the PMRA has all the ingredients for a high-performance show." Opened only late in 2004, Skyview Drags, just outside of Tioga Center, NY, is an eighth-mile International Hot Rod Association-sanctioned facility. This year will mark the first full season of the new facility. "We can't wait to race on this new track," said PMRA competitor Kasey Janzen of St. Catharines, ON. "And with Lancaster one day and Skyview the next day, the PMRA will offer the fans a great weekend of action."
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
