GRAND BEND, ONTARIO (February 19, 2010) – When the Pro Modified Racing Association made its first trip to Ontario’s Grand Bend Motorplex over the Labor Day weekend in 2006, Paul Spriet, Chief of Operations for the racing facility, he was a little skeptical.
“We watched from the sidelines the initial season of PMRA racing (the series started in 2005) and observed how things turned out for their first year. We decided to give the PMRA a shot in 2006.
“And now we’re glad we did.”
With that initial PMRA race a success, Spriet said Grand Bend has had a good working relationship with the PMRA since that time, adding he is looking forward to continuing the relationship for the upcoming season.
