Saturday, June 24, and the Pro Modified Racing Association is pleased to
be running inaugural events at St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta, ON, August

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.
