The stars of the PMRA are ready to rock!

CAYUGA, ONTARIO (May 18, 2007) – With the recent entry of John Russo for this weekend’s Pro Modified Racing Association opener at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, 16 teams will do battle in the Victoria Day Weekend PMRA Challenge.

Running the Russo Motorsports 1968-Camaro bodied supercharged Pro Modified out of Middletown, MA, Russo has raced since 1982. With a BAE 526-cubic inch Hemi and Pro Modified engine ace Canada’s Al Billes as crew chief, Russo is a serious threat in the competition. He was number one qualifier at the IHRA World Finals, and briefly held the IHRA Pro Modified World Record with a 6.012-second, 234.09-mph pass.

Qualifying for the Victoria Day Weekend PMRA Challenge will begin Saturday, May 19, with sessions at 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m. Eliminations are scheduled to begin May 20 at 1:00 p.m.

Joining the PMRA at Toronto Motorsports Park will be the CAN-AM Stock/Super Stock Series. This popular grass-roots drag series, which features competitors from Ontario, and Michigan, was formed in 1996, and continues to grow each season. The participants, known for their awesome wheelies, are fan favorites wherever they appear.
