CAYUGA, ONTARIO (October 23, 2013) – Veteran Pro Modified Racing Association driver Bruce Boland has been known for showing up at the track with a new race car each season. He has always been able to get the maximum out of his race cars, and 2013 was no exception, as the Stoney Creek Ontario driver placed third in PMRA Championship Point Award Series.

Starting with his 1953 Corvette Pro Modified for the season opener at Martin, Michigan, Boland qualified number two but could not make the elimination rounds. After doing some damage to his car during testing for the next event at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park and not being able to compete, Boland got back in the hunt qualifying fifth for the next event at Cayuga, and going into the semi-final.

He also qualifying fifth for the next race, and once again was eliminated in the semi-final.

For the next event, held at the Grand Bend Motorplex, the driver of the B&B Racing entry qualified fourth but went laps and was taken out in the final by winner Rocky Di Lecce of Mississauga, Ontario.

For the final PMRA race of 2013, also at Grand Bend, Boland qualified his new car, a 1968 Pontiac Firebird, in seventh but was eliminated in the first round.

Aside from the six points races on the PMRA schedule this year, the Pro Modifieds also took part in two other events, and Boland made a good showing at both high-profile races.
