PMRA Champions Banquet Awards Ceremony Honors Top Teams

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. -- Bruce Boland was officially crowned the 2007 Pro Modified Racing Association Champion at the series Champions Banquet.

“This is terrific,” said the Hamilton, Ontario, Pro Modified driver. “I want to thank all my crew who made it possible. I also want to thank the PMRA, and hopefully we can do it again next year.”

The evening headlined the PMRA Top-Five drivers honored Saturday evening during the awards ceremony at the Como Francesco Hall in Niagara Falls, New York.

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA): The Pro Modified Racing Association, www.ProModifiedRacing.com, 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. The series abides 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 volatile classes, offering a diverse group of race cars with different types of 2,500-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".
