CAYUGA, ONTARIO (June 3, 2010) - The Pro Modified Racing Association and the Quick
32 Sportsman Series is pleased to have Competition Tire Canada return as one of the
contingency award sponsors for the 2010 racing season.
As one of Canada's top auto racing tire suppliers, Competition Tire, based in
Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, has not only supplied tires for drag racing, oval
track, and road circuit competition, it has also provided on-track support for many
years, and tire experts are always on hand at race events to help its Goodyear Tire
customers.
Competition Tire was started by the late Doug Fairchild, who worked with Goodyear in
the 1960s and then stepped up to the international auto racing stage as part of the
company's Formula One effort. After a session working for Roger Penske, Fairchild
returned to Canada to begin Competition Tire in 1985 and became Goodyear's official
race tire distributor at a national level.
Fairchild was honored by his peers in 2010 for his commitment to the racing world
with his induction into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame.
Presently, Competition Tire provides contingency awards to PMRA and Quick 32
Sportsman Series competitors who race with Goodyear tires on their cars.
"I have known the Fairchilds and worked with them for many years," stated PMRA
Director of Operations Bruce Mehlenbacher. "They are a hard-working, committed group
that has helped the PMRA excel over its lifetime, and we are grateful to their
involvement."
Competition Tire provides a full range of Goodyear drag racing tires. Goodyear has
been involved with auto racing for close to 100 years, and has the experience,
knowledge, and development to be on the cutting edge in racing tire technology.

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):
The Pro Modified Racing Association, PMRA ~ Pro Modified Racing Association, was organized late in 2004,
started racing operations in 2005, and is entering its sixth year of operation in
2010. 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).
In 2010 the PMRA will compete at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario and the
South-western Ontario track of the Grand Bend Motorplex.
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 2,500-horsepower-plus engines in supercharged, nitrous-powered, or
turbocharged format.
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 230 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 are run in conjunction with the Quick 32 Sportsman Series
presented by NAPA Auto Parts, Quick 32 Sportsman Series, offering fans a great show of drag
racing.
