CAYUGA, ONTARIO (May 28, 2007) – With a successful opening round in the Pro Modified Racing Association Tour at Toronto Motorsports Park recently, the PMRA will be back at TMP in Cayuga, Ontario for event two in the five-race 2007 drag race series.


The first event of our season hosted a record number of Pro Modified teams”, said Bruce F. Mehlenbacher, Director of Operations for the PMRA. “And having the 10th different winner in 10 races since the PMRA series started three years ago I think says a lot for the uniformity of our teams and a solid level of competition.”

The Third Annual KC Auto Family Day Spectacular - PMRA Challenge presented by Paul Wolf Electric & Lighting Supply Inc., Sylvania, and Independent Electrical Distributors will be held on Saturday, June 16.

The PMRA series expects to see the return of series regulars and principals in the 2007-Point Series sponsored by Wix Filtration Products, Valvoline, a division of Ashland Inc., Uni-Select, and Moen Incorporated.

Sam Andreacchi, Matt Guenther, Gary Irving, Ike Maier, Gary Mater, and Scotty Wildgust all started their PMRA career on the Kohler Road quarter-mile strip at the first event on Victoria Day weekend. Established PMRA teams including Bruce Boland, Dave Earhart, Rob Laperriere, Joe Lilienthal, Mark Mitchell, Larry Sinke, and 2006 Champions Kasey Janzen and Joe Boniferro are all expected to return.

“We should see a few teams out for the first time this year,” added Mehlenbacher, referring to Raymond Commisso driving for Ralph Andreacchi, Jerry Bowles, and Mike Stawicki from Medina, New York driving the G-Force Race Cars 1967 Camaro.

Other new Pro Modified teams may show up at TMP to take part in the series, such as the last-minute entries of Billy Farmer of Maryland and Massachusetts’s John Russo with Canadian “Super Star” tuners Carl Spiering and Al Billes who competed in the recent event.

Joining the PMRA at Toronto Motorsports Park will be the CAN-AM Stock/Super Stock Series. This popular grass-roots drag series that features competitors from Ontario and Michigan, was formed in 1996, and continues to grow each season.

Qualifying for the Third Annual KC Auto Family Day Spectacular - PMRA Challenge presented by Paul Wolf Electric & Lighting Supply Inc., Sylvania and Independent Electrical Distributors will begin Saturday afternoon with the eight quickest teams returning for the final eliminations under the lights on Saturday night at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario on June 16.
