Toronto Motorsports Park hosts Pro Modified Racing Association
CAYUGA, ONTARIO (June 7, 2007) – One of the highlights in the PMRA drag racing season will take place at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario Saturday June 16.
The Kohler Road drag strip will be host to the Third Annual KC Auto Family Day Spectacular - PMRA Challenge presented by Paul Wolf Electric & Lighting Supply Inc., Sylvania and Independent Electrical Distributors, and promises to be a great family-oriented day of racing and off-track fun.
Headlining the event will be the popular Pro Modifieds of the Pro Modified Racing Association, with speeds of over 225 miles per hour on the quarter-mile track. Also on hand will be a jet-powered ambulance, wheelstanders, snowmobiles, and a large fireworks display.
“This is a great day of racing and fun family activities,” said Toronto Motorsports Park Director of Track Operations Neale Armstrong. “Not only will we see some great racing, but the KC Auto People really know how to host an event.”
 Also joining the PMRA at Toronto Motorsports Park will be the CAN-AM Stock/Super Stock Series and the Super Street 10.5 street legal cars.
Regular PMRA competitor and KC Auto Parts owner Kasey Janzen of St. Catharines, ON, is looking forward to helping present the event.
“This event has turned into a great deal for not only the racers, but the fans and their families,” said Janzen. “We really enjoy the day, and most important, we’re here to have fun and hope that everyone that comes out has a good time.”
The race will be the second in the five-race 2007 PMRA tour, and organizers are very pleased to have the Toronto-based Paul Wolf Electric & Lighting Supply Inc., along with Sylvania and Independent Electrical Distributors as part of the event.
“To have KC Auto Parts and the Wolf electric group on board is a great boost for this day,” commented PMRA Director of Operations Bruce F. Mehlenbacher. “The PMRA is proud and pleased to have them to be a part of this event.”
