Mainely Motorsports Television Teams Up With Last Ditch Racing



May 7, 2005 -- Maine's premier motor sports TV show, Mainely Motorsports announces today that Last Ditch Racing, the leading Maine-based team competing in the North American Rally Cup, will soon become a regular feature.

"This is very cool," states Jerret Condon, VP of Mainely Motorsports TV.

"Rally is one of the most under televised forms of racing in America."

"Most people have never seen a 300-horsepower, all wheel drive rally car careening sideways down a single lane dirt road at nearly 100mph," Condon says. "Frankly, many other types of race drivers have the utmost respect for what these people are doing."

John Crawford, Mainely Motorsports founder, notes, "We are excited at the idea of bringing this kind of racing to our audience. We also plan to cover the Maine Forest Rally in July so that people can see that one of the biggest rallies in North America happens right here in Maine"

Last Ditch Racing will be in an upcoming feature before heading off to their next race on May 28th. Mainely Motorsports will interview LDR's driver and co-driver, John Cassidy and Dave Getchell. They'll give us a good close look at the Motul-sponsored Subaru WRX they run on tour -- including a full-bore blast down one of the team's favorite testing roads.

"They have an in-car camera setup that should provide some pretty exciting footage over the coming months", says Condon. "We are filming the introduction to Last Ditch Racing in a couple of weeks, and I am very excited at the idea of getting a ride in a real front-running rally car"

The show will follow the adventures of the LDR team and check in with them at different race events across the US and Canada. Last year, LDR took second place in season points for the unlimited Open Class of the Canadian Rally Championship, and 5th overall in the season-long North American Rally Cup.

" I am a little nervous about our feature on them" admits Condon, "Dave
Getchell said to bring my helmet."

Mainely Motorsports TV airs on UPN35 Saturday mornings at 10 AM across Maine and New Hampshire and throughout Maine weekly on Adelphia Cable Network.
