Contingency Awards for PMRA Teams SYCAMORE, IL (February 16, 2006) -- Instrument giant Auto Meter Products will be posting contingency awards at each series event for 2006, the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA), www.ProModifiedRacing.com, is pleased to announce. “The PMRA has a good series with great teams,” explained Marc Erickson, Director of Motorsports of Auto Meter Products. “We will present a contingency award to the low qualifier and winner of each of the six-event drag racing series in 2006. Auto Meter offers its customers the most extensive line of technologically advanced, competition-inspired, and race-proven instruments of any aftermarket automotive instrument supplier in the world today. ” For nearly 50 years, Auto Meter products have been providing top competitors the power of information. Its instruments have run on virtually every competition course in North America, and can be found relaying critical information to drivers in all types of motorsports from record-setting 300 mph-plus passes at Bonneville to hot laps on the high banks of Daytona. Every gauge, tachometer, and data acquisition system is designed and engineered with the power and precision necessary to communicate the exact information top race teams demand in the most intense competition environments. “Auto Meter Products is the most respected manufacturer of high quality, performance aftermarket instrumentation, tachometers, and gauges,” stated Bruce F. Mehlenbacher, Director of Operations of the PMRA. “The PMRA contingency programs are designed to increase the sponsor’s product sales and exposure to the target market of the series teams and to our fans. Having Auto Meter Products aboard with the PMRA will be great for our series.” Auto Meter Products will provide the information needed to cross the finish line first. It has been supplying that information for 49 years. For more information contact Auto Meter at 815.895.8141 or visit www.AutoMeter.com 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. PMRA officials are in negotiations with several tracks at present for 2006, both eighth and quarter-mile tracks in Michigan, New York, and Ohio with the plan of presenting a six-event drag racing series in 2006. Started late in 2004 and entering its second year of operation, the PMRA ran five events in 2005 at four Ontario, Quebec, and New York locations, with a different winner at each track. The PMRA provides drag race fans the opportunity to see and hear popular Pro Modified racing in the class known as “the world’s fastest door slammers.” 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 racecars with different types of 2000-horsepower engines propelling the cars down the quarter-mile in the 6.20-second range at 230 mph. |
