CAYUGA, ONTARIO (May 5, 2010) – When Carl Spiering won the first Pro Modified Racing Association race held in May of 2005, a new era in Pro Modified drag racing was established.
Since that time, the PMRA has been a big part of the makeup on the Cayuga Dragway at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, and has been a favorite facility with the fans and the teams.
Canada’s oldest drag strip, which began operations in 1954 and has continued to the present, has traditionally been the season opener and season closer for the PMRA. For several years the series championship was decided during the final event in the fall of each year since the PMRA started racing at the fabled Kohler Road strip in Southern Ontario.
And once again, this time for its sixth season, Cayuga will host the opening round of the 2010 PMRA season, with the Victoria Day Weekend Spectacular May 21-23. A record number of teams in both the PMRA and the Quick 32 Sportsman Series are expected to be ready to do battle on the quarter-mile drag strip.

 New York-based dragster driver ready for upcoming first event on tour
by Bruce Melenbacher
YOUNGSTOWN, NEW YORK (May 4, 2010) – Michael Kalin may have raced several times so far in 2010, but does not think he will have an easy time when he fires up his race car for the first round in the Top Dragster side of the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts later this month.
Kalin, who drives a big-block powered dragster, spent some time earlier this year on a drag racing road trip in the southern US, competing in Florida, Tennessee, and Maryland, taking a runner-up spot in the IHRA Tournament of Champions at Immokalee Regional Raceway.
“We’re going to give it a shot,” said Kalin, who won the Grand Bend Motorplex event of the Quick 32 Sportsman Series, and placed fourth in the Championship Point Award Series in 2009. “I will apply some of the stuff I learned down South but these guys in the Quick 32 Sportsman Series are tough.”
Kalin’s success at Immokalee in Southern Florida highlighted his trip, which he says was an eye-opener.

Bruce Boland to drive new Corvette Pro Modified in upcoming PMRA Tour
by Bruce Melenbacher
HAMILTON, ONTARIO (May 3, 2010) – The car may have a different body, but underneath the new 1963 Corvette Sting Ray shell and chassis the B&B Racing entry is pretty much as it was for 2009.
And that suits Bruce Boland just fine, as the Hamilton, Ontario-based driver won the Pro Modified Racing Association’s Championship Point Award Series in 2009.
“All the engine and drivetrain are pretty well the same stuff as last year,” said Boland, who won four of the six PMRA tour events last year. “The combination is basically the same, but we should have about 200 more horsepower, and the car will weigh about 200 pounds less.”
Last year’s PMRA title was Boland’s third in row, and each time he has driven to victory in a different Pro Modified. He and his 1953 Corvette won the 2007 title, and another 1963 Corvette won in 2008, and for 2009 he drove a 1967 Chevy Nova-bodied Pro Modified.
