Champions to be
crowned at PMRA Banquet
Co-champions Boniferro and Janzen to be honored at special
event
CAYUGA, Ontario (October 20, 2006) – The Pro Modified Racing Association
2006 Series Champions will be honored at the upcoming PMRA Champions Banquet in
Niagara Falls, Ontario at the CopaCabana
Steakhouse Thursday, November
9.
 “It’s hard to believe, but another season has gone by and to
top things off we get to crown two champions,” explained
PMRA Director of Operations Bruce Mehlenbacher. “Both Joe Boniferro and Kasey Janzen are very deserving of the
honor. Both are great guys and big supporters of the series,” he continued. “Joe
and Kasey have been there right from the very beginning. With a different winner
at each event during the two-year history of the PMRA, that should give you an
idea of the close competition,” added
Mehlenbacher.
The CopaCabana
Steakhouse, www.copacabana.ca is Niagara's first and only Brazilian
Steakhouse. They specialize in Brazil's most popular style of dining
known as Churrascaria de Rodizio. Their chefs take great pride in offering a

The PMRA and its member
teams traveled to several new drag strips in 2006, including Sanair in
Quebec, and the western Ontario tracks of St.
Thomas Dragway and the Grand Bend Motorplex. The tour was a great success for
the series, which enjoyed strong fan popularity. Negotiations are underway to
return to these tracks, along with Toronto Motorsports Park and Lancaster Raceway Park and several other venues to present
some of the best in Pro Modified racing for
2007.

About the Pro Modified Racing
Association
The Pro Modified Racing
Association, www.ProModifiedRacing.com, started late in 2004 and
entering its second year of operation, the Pro Modified Racing Association ran
five events in 2005 at four Ontario, Quebec, and New
York locations. The PMRA provides drag race fans the
opportunity see, hear and to experience the popular Pro Modifieds, 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 is one of drag racing’s
most exciting and volatile classes, capturing the true spirit of hot rodding and
offering a wildly diverse group of racecars with different types of
2,000-horsepower engines. Combining classic body styles and modern equipment,
constructors are permitted to extensively modify and enhance both appearance and
performance. The cars burn gasoline or methanol, propelling them down the
quarter-mile in low six-second times at over 225 miles per hour. The PMRA Pro
Modified field is composed of the eight quickest teams from the qualifying
rounds.
