Bruce Mehlenbacher - June 25, 2009
RPM Magazine renews commitment to PMRA
- Prestigious Editor's Choice Award presented to a standout racer among the PMRA ranks this season
 "Renewing our support for the PMRA and its racers was a must for 2009," said RPM Magazine Editor In Chief Chris Biro. "We are celebrating our 10th Anniversary this year and staying involved with quality organizations such as the PMRA is paramount to us."
For 2009 RPM Magazine will once again partner with the PMRA in continuing to bring exclusive Series Reports via veteran Fast Doorslammer Photojournalist and RPM Senior Drag Race Editor Ian Rae, as well as Team Features of PMRA competitors, provide complimentary subscriptions to PMRA members, supply RPM Magazines for hand-outs at PMRA events and also offer one of its prestigious Editor's Choice Awards to a standout racer among the PMRA ranks again this season.
"We look forward to continuing RPM's coverage of the PMRA series and stars of the organization, and sending them to 18 countries around the world," added Biro. "Now, with our full gloss format, (RPM being the world's ONLY full gloss publication for this area of Drag Racing), we are able to bring the racers of this sport to the next level. After all, there is nothing quite like being in print. It doesn't get deleted or bumped, cancelled, cut or not aired. Instead it stays alive forever!"
"By the looks of things, this season will prove to be the best yet for the ever-growing Pro Modified Racing Association,” he continued, “and we are excited about being able to continue this program... let the 2009 games begin!"
“Communication is an important aspect of the PMRA,” noted Media Director Tim Miller. “It’s important to get the word out, and I want to commend Chris and his staff for their professionalism and timeliness in promoting the PMRA. “The RPM group are racing fans, and their zeal has been a great asset to the PMRA,” Miller continued. “I look forward to a long and successful relationship with them.”

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):
The Pro Modified Racing Association, www.PMRA.ca, was organized late in 2004, started racing operations in 2005, and is entering its fifth year of operation in 2009. The PMRA is a self-governing organization with input from its teams, and adheres to the technical and safety rules as outlined by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). The series has event venues in Ontario, Quebec, and New York State.
The PMRA will compete at several drag strips in 2009, including dates at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario, starting with the season opener on May 16 and 17, June 13 and 14 and the season-closer on September 19 and 20, at St. Thomas Dragway in Sparta, Ontario on July 11 and 12, and the South-western Ontario track of the Grand Bend Motorplex at the 10th Annual MOPAR Canadian Nationals July 17 to 19, the Stratford Spectacular Hot August National presented by Ideal Supply & NAPA Auto Parts August 8 and 9 and on September 5 and 6.
Cars in the PMRA capture the true spirit of hot rodding, and the class is one of drag racing’s most exciting and colorful classes, offering a diverse group of race cars with different types of 2,500-horsepower supercharged, nitrous powered and turbocharged engines.
Combining classic body styles and modern equipment, constructors are permitted, within established rules and parameters, to modify and enhance the cars in both appearance and performance. The cars are fuelled by gasoline or methanol, propelling them down the quarter-mile in low six-second times at over 200 miles per hour. The PMRA provides drag race fans the opportunity to see, hear, and experience the popular Pro Modifieds, known as "the world's fastest door slammers".
Several of the PMRA events will be run in conjunction with the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts, www.Quick32.ca, offering fans a great show of drag racing.
