About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):
The Pro Modified Racing Association, www.PMRA.ca, was organized late in 2004, started racing
operations in 2005, and is entering its fifth year of operation in 2009. The PMRA is a self-governing
organization with input from its teams, and adheres to the technical and safety rules as outlined by the
International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). The series has event
venues in Ontario, Quebec, and New York State.
Cars in the PMRA capture the true spirit of hot rodding, and the class is one of drag
racing’s most exciting and colorful classes, offering a diverse group of race cars with different types of
2,500-horsepower supercharged, nitrous powered and turbocharged engines.
Combining classic body styles and modern equipment, constructors are permitted, within
established rules and parameters, to modify and enhance the cars in both appearance and performance. The cars
are fuelled by gasoline or methanol, propelling them down the quarter-mile in low six-second times at over 200
miles per hour. The PMRA provides drag race fans the opportunity to see, hear, and experience the popular Pro
Modifieds, known as "the world's fastest door slammers".
The PMRA will compete at several drag strips in 2009, including dates at Toronto Motorsports
Park in Cayuga, Ontario, starting with the season opener on May 16 and 17, June 13 and 14 and the season-closer
on September 19 and 20, at St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta, Ontario on July 11 and 12, and the South-western
Ontario track of the Grand Bend Motorplex at the 10th Annual MOPAR Canadian Nationals July 17 to 19 and on
September 5 and 6.
Several of the PMRA events will be run in conjunction with the Quick 32 Sportsman Series
presented by NAPA Auto Parts, www.Quick32.ca, offering fans a great show of drag
racing.
