NEOPMA/PMRA Pro Modifieds ready for first showdown this weekend ~ Popular door slammers take to the Empire Dragway for two-day event

LEICESTER, NY – The Pro Modifieds of the Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Association (NEOPMA) and Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA) will return to Empire Dragway in Leicester, NY this weekend, in the first of two scheduled weekend shows for 2023. Last year the Pro Modifieds from both series ran successfully on the New York state drag strip, and this year’s event promises to provide more action and cars in this popular door-slammer class.

“Together with John (NEOPMA President John Mazzorana) and Jerry Scaccia (Empire Dragway), we worked out a trial show with the Pro Modifieds last year and it was a big hit,” noted PMRA Series Director Bruce Mehlenbacher. “This year we have more cars from NEOPMA, plus a contingent of PMRA teams from Ontario, to present one of the finest Pro Modified shows around.”

Along with a strong Pro Modified presence, a bonus for fans this year is the addition of the Quick 32 Sportsman Series, which includes Top Sportsman and Top Dragster teams.  A full field of teams from both sides of the US-Canada border are ready to do battle on the Empire Dragway eighth-mile.

Some of the Pro Modified entries for this weekend’s show include Robert Bauer, John Camp, John Pierre Conci, Gary Courtier, Mike Decker, Mike Decker Jr., Matt Deitsch, The Grainy Brothers, Tom Gray, Matt Guenther, Tyler Hard, Tino Iadanosi, Andy Jensen, Steve King, Ken Lang, Al Martorino, Kevin McCurdy, Melanie Salemi, Fred Scriba, Mike Stawicki, Carl Stevens, Dave Texido, Derek Ward, Jason White will race at Empire, the fourth of eight NEOPMA events for 2023.

The Quick 32 Sportsman Series will participate with the NEOPMA and the PMRA at the Empire Northeast Outlaw Pro Mod Challenge IV and V, on June 30-July 1 and August 18-19, 2023.

Qualifying will be held Friday at 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm and Saturday at 12:00 noon with eliminations staring at 2:00 pm Saturday.
