CAYUGA, ONTARIO (April 17, 2008) – A tradition in the Pro Modified Racing Association will once again be held this year.
The Fourth Annual KC Auto Day Family Spectacular will return to Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario June 28 to host the PMRA’s second event of 2008.
“This event has turned into a great deal for not only the racers, but the fans and their families,” said regular PMRA competitor and KC Auto Parts owner Kasey Janzen of St. Catharines, Ontario. “We really enjoy the day, and most important, we’re here to have fun and hope that everyone that comes out has a good time.”
Kasey Janzen added he expects a big turnout of spectators and racers at the event, which he hosts for his customers, friends, and family. Between 100 and 150 guests attend.
“To have KC Auto Parts return for the fourth year in a row is a big boost for this day,” said PMRA Director of Operations Bruce F. Mehlenbacher. “This show draws the largest contingent of Pro Modified teams annually and the PMRA is proud and pleased to have them to be a part of this event.”
The PMRA Pro Modifieds will highlight the Saturday racing at Cayuga. The OSCA will be holding its Canada Day Shootout, and the track will also feature some jet car racing.
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.

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):
The Pro Modified Racing Association, Pro Modified Racing Association, was organized late in 2004, started racing operations in 2005, and is entering its fourth year of operation. 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.
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.
No Pro Modified team has dominated in the history of PMRA events. In 2005, 2006, and 2007, each event was topped off with a different winner, and 2006 Grand Bend Motorplex winner Joe Boniferro became the first repeat winner in series history, winning the 2007 Grand Bend race.
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".
