With close to two dozen Pro Modified teams in Ontario and Western New York, there was a need for these teams to compete on a regular basis in front of their local fans. After meetings with several teams late in the fall of 2004, a race series format was established with regulations, race dates, venues, and purses. 
Believing this type of series viable and with an initial nucleus of cars and teams from Ontario and New York State, the Pro Modified Racing Association was formed, running a five-race schedule in 2005. It is self-governing with its own payouts and set of technical rules as outlined by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).
Pro Modified teams from Ontario and New Brunswick, along with teams from New York, Michigan, Massachusetts and Maryland have competed in PMRA events.
Since its inception about 15 years ago, the Pro Modified class has become one of drag racing's most popular divisions, with large engines and a variety of unique body styles, propelling the cars to quarter-mile speeds of over 230-mph with low six-second times. This class, known as "the world's fastest door slammers," always attracts attention and interest wherever they compete.
Since 2005, the PMRA has continued to entertain fans at tracks in Ontario, Quebec, and New York, and the teams are comfortable at running on either quarter-mile or eighth-mile strips.
Not to be overshadowed by the competition on the track, the PMRA presents itself off-track in a close-knit atmosphere with teams taking part in social activities such as barbeques and other gatherings at race venues. In past years, the teams have become close and are always willing to help each other out with parts and work to make that next round.
PMRA teams work within an association environment, providing a solid basis for the series. The teams work as a group, with each team having a say in how the series is implemented

Mother Nature did not cooperate with the running of the Pro Modified Racing Association's two events presented by Torco Racing Fuels Ontario at Cayuga Dragway earlier this season, and PMRA and Cayuga Dragway management has rescheduled these events for a two-day season-ending show to be filled with Pro Modified racing action.
Both the Third Annual Victoria Day Weekend - PMRA Challenge May 17 and 18, and the Fourth Annual KC Auto Parts Family Day PMRA Challenge presented by Paul Wolf Electric & Lighting Supply Inc., Osram Sylvania and Independent Electrical Distributors June 28 were rained out.
Qualifying for the May event was not completed, so this race will be rerun in its entirety. The qualifying for the June show was completed, and the eliminations will take place during this rescheduled event on Saturday.
The show is to take place Saturday and Sunday, September 13 -14.
