CAYUGA, ONTARIO (May 12, 2007) – Pro Modified veteran Larry Sinke of Welland, ON, will be competing in the upcoming Pro Modified Racing Association Series, which takes place at Toronto Motorsports Park in Cayuga, Ontario May 19 and 20.
“We’re glad to see Larry back with the PMRA,” said Series Director Bruce F. Mehlenbacher. “He’s seasoned veteran, a good runner, and he’s always a crowd-pleaser.”
The Hammer Racing 1967 Chevy Nova SS Pro Modified owned and driven by Sinke is powered by a 526-cubic inch supercharged Hemi engine. Sinke, who started racing about 10 years ago, competed in the inaugural PMRA season, winning the Skyview Drags event in New York State.
Sinke joins a group of strong competitors for the TMP event, including several new teams. Sam Andreacchi, Gary Irving, Ike Maier, Gary Mater, and Scotty Wildgust will all start their PMRA career on the Kohler Road quarter-mile strip this coming weekend, along with established PMRA teams including, Bruce Boland, Jerry Bowles, Terry Brown, Dave Earhart, Rob Laperriere, Joe Lilienthal, Mark Mitchell, and 2006 Champions Kasey Janzen and Joe Boniferro.
“Between the teams that have been with us over the past years, and an influx of new competitors, the new PMRA season should be a banner year,” Mehlenbacher added.
Qualifying for the Victoria Day Weekend PMRA Challenge will begin Saturday, May 19, with sessions at 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m.., and 8:00 p.m. Eliminations are scheduled to begin Sunday, May 20 at 1:00 p.m.

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):
The Pro Modified Racing Association started late in 2004 and is entering its third year of operation. The PMRA is a self-governing organization, with technical and safety rules as outlined by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). Cars in the PMRA capture the true spirit of hot rodding, and the class is one of drag racing’s most exciting and volatile classes, offering a diverse group of racecars with different types of 2,000-horsepower 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".
