WELCOME raCE fans! O
Dear Fans and Friends of Drag Racing,
n behalf of the officials, competitors, teams and sponsors of the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA), the Quick 32 Sportsman Series and the Pro Bike & Sled Series (PBSS), welcome to another exciting season of drag racing.
These three series provide passionate drag racing fans with an opportunity to see, hear, and
experience competitive, exciting and entertaining racing at every event on the schedule. We have come a long way since that first race in the Pro Modified Racing Association was held on the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park in May of 2005. The series thrilled fans right from the start when Carl Spiering of Jordan Station, Ontario, defeated Al Billes of Barrie, Ontario in the final round of that first race. And this year, the PMRA celebrates its 10th season since that first race at Cayuga. And
since that first race, the Quick 32 Sportsman Series presented by NAPA Auto Parts and the Pro Bike & Sled Series presented by Wiseco Performance Products were inaugurated, present- ing a well-rounded, exciting, and colourful package of drag racing action. This year is the sixth in Quick 32 Sportsman Series racing, and the fourth for the PBSS. The three series are all based in Canada but feature Canadian and American competitors.
They are self-governing organizations with input from the teams. They adhere to the technical and safety rules as outlined by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). For 2014, events take place at the Grand Bend Motorplex, US 131 at Martin Michigan, and Empire Dragway in Leicester, New york, with series’ conclusions and the crowning of the champions at Grand Bend on the Labour Day weekend in September. We are proud to be part of the motorsports communities in Canada and the United States. Thank you to the drivers and teams who have worked so hard on their incredible racing ma-
chines. The cars, bikes and sleds are fast and beautiful and they’re the reason we come to the track. Thanks, as well, to the sponsors that support the teams, the series and the tracks. The racing wouldn’t be possible without the sponsors and we encourage you to consider them when making your buying decisions. I also want to recognize the efforts of the venues, series officials, safety crews and track workers who work so hard every race weekend. Most of all, ‘many thanks’ to you, the fans, for coming out to the track. We hope you enjoy your day at the races and we hope to see you again soon. •
