Aeroquip supporting Pro Modified Racing Association in 2008

Contingency award to be offered for each PMRA Pro Modified event winner

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN (January 31, 2008) – Aeroquip Performance Products, a world leader in the manufacture of a wide variety of fluid-conveying and fluid-connecting products, will be offering its support in the 2008 Pro Modified Racing Association.

 Aeroquip will be sponsoring a contingency award for each PMRA event winner.

“We feel the PMRA will be a good venue to showcase our products,” stated Aeroquip Business Manager Paul Grandsko. “This is a great way to give back to the racing community. We supply a wide variety of our products to Pro Modified teams. ”

As a leader in fluid connectors and related products, Aeroquip was founded in 1940 and is now part of Eaton's Aeroquip Group. Other products include hoses of all pressure ranges, fittings, adapters, couplings and other fluid hardware. The same care and quality that go into Aeroquip’s line of aircraft and aerospace applications goes into its line of race car components.

“I’m pleased to have Aeroquip join up with the PMRA as a contingency sponsor,” said PMRA Direction of Operations Bruce F. Mehlenbacher. “This is a company that produces high-quality items, and a good company to be associated with. We look forward to working with them.”

PMRA tour stops in 2008 include two dates at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, Lancaster Raceway Park in New York State, Sanair in Quebec and the Southwestern Ontario track of Grand Bend Motorplex.

Negotiations are underway with several US race tracks based in Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania with the plan of presenting a seven-event PMRA drag racing series this season.
