established itself as a major of supplier of racing fuel.
“The business is going well,” said Torco Racing Fuels Ontario’s Scott Wildgust, who has instituted a contingent of suppliers throughout Ontario selling the Torco Racing Fuels Ontario line of racing fuels. “We now have a solid nucleus of dealers, and we can supply all requests in a timely manner.”
Another venture for Wildgust and partner Jack Switzer this year has been the marketing of Skull Shine car care products and racing apparel, and the Wild Boar line of apparel.
Wildgust and Switzer have also taken their line of products on the road with a 30-foot concession trailer featuring the entire lines of product for sale.

“We’re traveling around to many car shows and racing events,” added Wildgust. “The PMRA shows have been a good fit for us, as it fits in well with our marketing targets. “The PMRA has become a solid and popular Pro Modified circuit, and we’re glad to get involved.” Torco Fuels Ontario now has distribution centers throughout Ontario, offering a full line of 21 high-performance racing fuels for all types of auto racing. Wildgust added the “Give it Back to the Racers” campaign, which offers discounts on fuel along with monthly prizes of Torco Racing Fuels Ontario -related products, has been very successful to date with many racers from various motorsports signing up.

About the Pro Modified Racing Association (PMRA):
The Pro Modified Racing Association, www.ProModifiedRacing.com, was organized late in 2004, started racing operations in 2005, and is entering its fourth year of operation. The PMRA is a self-governing organization with input from its teams, and adheres to the technical and safety rules as outlined by the International Hot Rod Association (IHRA) and the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). The series has event venues in Ontario, Quebec, and New York State. Cars in the PMRA capture the true spirit of hot rodding, and the class is one of drag racing’s most exciting and colorful classes, offering a diverse group of race cars with different types of 2,500-horsepower supercharged, nitrous powered and turbocharged engines. No Pro Modified team has dominated in the history of PMRA events. In 2005, 2006, and 2007, each event was topped off with a different winner, and 2006 Grand Bend Motorplex winner Joe Boniferro became the first repeat winner in series history, winning the 2007 Grand Bend race. Combining classic body styles and modern equipment, constructors are permitted, within established rules and parameters, to modify and enhance the cars in both appearance and performance. The cars are fuelled by gasoline or methanol, propelling them down the quarter-mile in low six-second times at over 200 miles per hour. The PMRA provides drag race fans the opportunity to see, hear, and experience the popular Pro Modifieds, known as "the world's fastest door slammers".
