It was a race against the clock to get the Ford Focus ZX3 ready for ‘Crazy’ Leo the 2003 Rally of the Tall Pines, but Can-Jam Motorsports got it all buttoned up, and shipped to Bancroft on Friday.

CRC announced on social media that after five stages, Jerome Mailloux & Philippe Poirier (TEST Racing) are in the lead. Crazy Leo (Race Lab) was very fast and in 3rd position after the 1st service, However, a 3 minutes penalty for checking in too early relegates the Can-Jam prepared car to 9th place.
