02/17/07 Dave Earhart gearing up for PMRA season
Plans include running more Pro Modified Racing Association Tour events. PMRA driver Dave Earhart plans to take a more active part in the Pro Modified Racing Association’s 2007 season. “We’re going to concentrate on more PMRA racing,” said the Strathroy, ON driver. “I’m building some zoomies for the car right now. I won’t be doing any more muffler racing.” more>>

Along with competing in the PMRA tour, Earhart said he plans to run the Quick 8 shows at Grand Bend, and hopes to run in some other events at Toronto Motorsports Park.

02/12/07 Bowles looking for strong PMRA season. New equipment and lots of testing for Willys Pro Modified team. When Jerry Bowles got his 1941 Willys-bodied Pro Modified, he ran a 7.60-second time with the car, and was duly impressed.
“The quickest I’d ever run was a 10,” said the Bowles, who has raced for about 15 years.
“That was the biggest rush I’d ever had,” said Bowles, of Gadshilll, ON, just outside of Stratford. “But last year we put a blower on the car, and had made only six passes before Grand Bend.” more>>

02/07/07 Parts Pro Performance Centers will be sponsoring the Crew Chief of the Race Award at each Pro Modified Racing Association series event for 2007. “The Parts Pro Performance Centers Crew Chief of the Race Award was specifically designed to reward the Crew Chief and the team of individuals that supports them,” explained Kevin Dundas, General Manager of Karbelt Speed & Custom, the Eastern Canadian Parts Pro Distribution center. “We will present the award at each of the PMRA drag racing series events in 2007.” more>>
