PMRA and the Quick 32 Sportsman Series to be featured on Raceline Radio Network

Cayuga, ON – In the spring of 2009, the Quick 32 Sportsman Series. www.Quick32.ca was established for high-horsepower Sportsman-class teams to compete on a regular basis. These teams, from Ontario, Quebec, Michigan, and New York had little opportunity to compete in a professionally-operated series devoted solely to these types of drag racing cars.

The Series is comprised of Top Sportsman, or “door” cars (full-bodied, full-fendered cars), and Top Dragsters. Both classes are based on the same classes in the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) and International Hot Rod Association (IHRA).

A major step in the development of this new series was the Championship Point Award Series, which continues to be presented by NAPA Auto Parts.

The Quick 32 Sportsman Series uses rules, regulations, and other factors of the established and successful Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA. The Series offers a wide variety of body styles (dragster, altered, door-car) and engine combinations (carburettor, supercharged, turbocharged) for versatile, diverse, and colorful Sportsman drag racing.

PMRA, Quick 32 and PBSS Ceases Operation

Since our first race in 2005, the PMRA has produced ten champions. In six years of racing, there have been five PMRAdifferent Quick 32 Sportsman Series champions, and in its four years of existence, there have been four PBSS champions.

In the past eleven years of operation, the three series have awarded over $1,250,000.00 to our drag racing competitors.

Since our first gathering in December of 2004, when we were asked to organize and promote a group of Pro Modified Teams, and seven years ago when the same request was made by a group of Top Dragster and Top Sportsman Teams, the series has always strived to make each season a pleasurable experience for all concerned including our loyal fans. The same attitude applies with the Pro Bike & Sled Series, which began in 2011 and has been presented by Wiseco Performance Products since that time.
