CAYUGA, ON – Consistency, perfect attendance, and an event win has given Joe Lilienthal the lead in the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA), www.promodifiedracing.com series for 2005, as the PMRA heads to its fifth race this weekend’s KC Auto Parts Family Day Celebration at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario.
 The Kenmore, NY driver has been at all previous PMRA events this year, and with some solid semi-final round action plus a win in the July Luskville Dragway race in his Jeep-bodied Pro Mod, Lilienthal has amassed 1260 points in the 22-team standings.
And fellow Western New Yorker and PMRA competitor Jack Grainy is not far behind with 1200 points in the Grainy Brothers 1990 Beretta entry, while Mr. Consistent, Joe Boniferro of Niagara Falls, ON, is presently third in the PMRA standings with 1180 points in the Smokin Joe’s 1999 Avenger.
The Camaro of Strathroy, ON’s Dave Earhart is tied for fourth with Kasey Janzen of St. Catharines, ON, and his Lumina Z34. Both drivers have 1140 points. And next is Larry Sinke of Welland, ON with 1080 points. Sinke and his Hammer Racing ‘67 Nova are fresh off their recent Skyview Drags victory.

Joining the PMRA Pro Modifieds 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 New York, was formed in 1996, and continues to grow each season. The participants, known for their awesome wheelies, are fan favorites wherever they appear.
In its first year of operation, the PMRA will provide fans in Ontario, Quebec, and New York the opportunity to see and hear popular Pro Modified racing in the class known as “the world’s fastest doorslammers.”
The PMRA is a self-governing organization with its own set of technical and safety rules based on the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) Pro Modified division. Cars in the PMRA capture the true spirit of hot rodding, and the class offers a widely-diverse group of race cars with different types of 2000-horsepower engines propelling the cars down the quarter-mile in the 6.20-second range at 230 mph.
