Ajax Engines sponsors PMRA Chicago Style Shootout

Special non-qualifiers race at PMRA Pro Modified events

AJAX, ONTARIO (April 21, 2008) – The Pro Modified Racing Association Presented by Torco Racing Fuels Ontario is pleased to announce that Ajax Engines will sponsor a Chicago Style Shootout for all non-qualifiers at the four Canadian events  for 2008.

“The PMRA series has been growing each year and Ajax Engines wanted to support the teams in the series,” explained Kirk Silbermann of Ajax Engines. “Everyone has an off day from time to time and that’s why we decided to support those guys with a non-qualifiers race.”

PMRA teams that are unable to qualify for the eight-car championship rounds of final eliminations will have the option of a Chicago Style Shootout. The two teams with low-elapsed times from a qualifying session following the first and second rounds of eliminations will come back for a winners Shootout just prior to the PMRA Championship final.

“We have a record amount of teams in the PMRA series going into our fourth year of operation,” said PMRA Director of Operations Bruce F. Mehlenbacher. “This, and the fact we will have more teams coming on board to use the series as an opportunity to test for IHRA and NHRA events makes the Ajax Engines support very important.”

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