Brandford, ON – Where would any event be without fast doorslammers? The Heads Up Racing Association (H.U.R.A.), featuring Pro Modified 1/4 mile drag racing, will host their inaugural race at this year’s RPM Magazine/Lucas Oil Products Extreme Event in Grand Bend, Ontario!

HURA was started by racers looking for a place to race when the natural progression of heads-up racing goes beyond their means.

Dave Earhart, one of HURA’s founding members put’s it this way, “Look, we want to race, we want to go fast, and we want to race heads-up but at the same time have an opportunity of winning at any given time.

I have raced various forms of bracket and index racing for years and once you taste heads-up, you never want to go back. HURA was formed to give fast doorslammer racers an opportunity to move into Pro Modified racing and not have it be too much of a culture and financial shock.

Make no mistake though, we have some fast cars, and will be ready to put on a great show at the RPM/Lucas oil Extreme Event for the Rudy Held’s Performance Spring Spectacular at Grand Bend Motorplex May 20-22nd.”

The Pro Mod Meltdown at this event will be an OPEN FIELD (no HURA membership is required) as a way for the HURA to gain interest in what they have to offer…. meaning that there will be NO membership fee required for the RPM event, and ALL Pro Mods will be able to race at no charge for them and 4 of their crew.

“We want to give every racer a voice in what happens at HURA,” continues Earhart. “And we think that those who join will like what they see and experience. This event will offer those interested and opportunity to check us out. Our series will use a Sportsman ladder instead of a Pro ladder, so the slower teams have a greater chance of advancing. We will also, for our future events, be trying to put in place an all-run format up to a maximum of a 16 car field so that all teams in attendance can race.”

ONCE AGAIN– The HURA (Head’s Up Racing Association) Pro Mod Meltdown class will be open to ALL doorslammer entries capable of 6.99 or quicker 1/4 mile ET’s that meet the following basic HURA rules. The Pro Mod Meltdown class will pay $4,000 to win!
