Maine’s Last Ditch Racing is no stranger to traveling across country to compete, having competed in California in 2002. Pacific Forest has been a goal of the team’s for quite some time.

Driver John Cassidy said, “Dave and I have wanted to head to Western Canada for the past few years, but the budget hasn’t been there. We’re really excited to see what the roads are like and imagine that Pacific Forest will feel somewhat like our native Maine.

”The team has had a difficult year, crashing heavily at their home event, the Maine Forest Rally. “We love that event, but it seems to bite us each year.” The team cut a corner, finding a huge glacial rock under a raspberry bush, putting an end to a bid for a top 10 finish.

Last Ditch Racing has been a surprise in the CARS championship this year, garnering second overall until the recent Rallye Defi. The team experienced transmission problems and a flat which dropped them from what would have been a top 5 finish to 10th. “We’ve been working really hard at stringing together consistent, tidy events and staying on the road,” said Cassidy. The team now stands third overall in the CARS championship with two remaining events.

Will the team bring their infamous Triple Caution Thong to Pacific Forest!? Said Cassidy, “There’s no doubt that we’ll do our best to share this award with the West coast teams-we know many would like to win it!”
