CAYUGA, ONTARIO (July 5, 2011) – He only came to test out some new equipment, but Pro Modified racer Kenny Lang ended up winning the Pro Modified Racing Association race during the Canadian Nitro Nationals at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park.
The event was the third in the 2011 PMRA schedule.
And the win was not only Lang’s first in PMRA competition, it was his first in the Pro Modified series.
“We had a good day,” Lang said after his win. “We just came here to test a new converter, started picking away, and stayed with our game plan.”
Lang, from Grand Pointe, Manitoba, is a regular competitor in the Get Screened America Pro Modified Series which competes at NHRA National events. Earlier this year Lang acquired major sponsorship from Summit Racing Equipment, a marketer of high-performance parts and accessories. Lang made history in 2010 at the NHRA Gatornationals in Florida as the first competitor to win an NHRA Pro Modified event and be awarded the coveted “Wally” trophy.
