CAYUGA, Ontario (October 20, 2006) – The Pro Modified Racing Association 2006 Series Champions will be honored at the upcoming PMRA Champions Banquet in Niagara Falls, Ontario at the CopaCabana Steakhouse Thursday, November 9.
“It’s hard to believe, but another season has gone by and to top things off we get to crown two champions,” explained PMRA Director of Operations Bruce Mehlenbacher. “Both Joe Boniferro and Kasey Janzen are very deserving of the honor. Both are great guys and big supporters of the series,” he continued. “Joe and Kasey have been there right from the very beginning. With a different winner at each event during the two-year history of the PMRA, that should give you an idea of the close competition,” added Mehlenbacher.
The CopaCabana Steakhouse, www.copacabana.ca is Niagara's first and only Brazilian Steakhouse. They specialize in Brazil 's most popular style of dining known as Churrascaria de Rodizio. Their chefs take great pride in offering a vast variety of all you can eat salad bar, hot buffet, and barbecued meats carved table side.
A very limited number of additional tickets are available on a first come, first serve basis at a cost of $40.00 each.
