HAMILTON, ONTARIO -- Team owners, drivers, car builders, officials and members of the Pro Modified Racing Association met recently to discuss issues and prepare for the upcoming 2009 racing season.

Chaired by PMRA Director of Operations Bruce Mehlenbacher, several items were addressed by the group, including team membership, safety, the points structure, payouts, qualifying procedures, and track venues.

The PMRA will be entering its fifth season of competition in 2009, and Mehlenbacher has already confirmed race dates at Cayuga Dragway for at least two events, along with Grand Bend Motorplex, St. Thomas Dragway for two-day races. He mentioned he is working with tracks in Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania as well as Quebec with the plan of presenting a seven event PMRA Drag Racing Series for 2009.

Other topics included emergency procedures and personnel and track preparation.

The mood of the meeting was upbeat and positive with most in attendance offering suggestions and ideas. It was decided that the group would reassemble in the New Year after the confirmation of more race dates.
