BARRIE, ONTARIO (July 1, 2010) – Tim Martin and Paul Noakes have pooled their talent and racing equipment to form a new Pro Modified team which brings a lot to the table in Pro Modified Racing Association competition.
After racing in the PMRA last season, Martin, of Barrie, Ontario got together with former Alcohol Funny Car driver Paul Noakes of London, Ontario recently and began this alliance which will see Noakes drive the Corvette Pro Modified for the remainder of the PMRA year.
Noakes, who was a top contender in the IHRA Alcohol Funny Car ranks for over 20 years, decided to get into the doorslammer after the IHRA closed the door on the Funny Car class.
Martin has been experiencing back issues, and has been advised not to drive.

Tim Martin, who now drives the G-Force Race Cars 1963 Corvette Pro Modified, is the second of three generations of drag racers. Father Wayne Martin started racing in the mid-1960s, and Tim’s son Chase will be a regular in the Junior Dragster wars.
