Anderson’s
Hard Charging Classic Result
In a
result that he was more than pleased about, Grant Anderson
managed to charge his way from the rear of the field
to finish one spot shy of the podium in last weekend’s
Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Warrnambool’s Premier
Speedway.
After
dropping his opening heat race on the second night of
the Grand Annual Classic, due to an electrical issue,
and then bouncing back with a hard charging second place
finish in the fourth and final heat race, Anderson was
sentenced to qualify for the feature race via the B-main.
Capturing the second last transfer spot, third place,
he started from position 19 and it was a case of laying
it all on the line. Anderson found the groove on the
track early on and was able to use his to his advantage
to progress forward in a rapid fashion. In what was
a fantastic drive, he fell short of finishing on the
podium and ended up in fourth.
Although
disappointed to not have finished higher, the VIC #
37 Wagga Mobile Cranes & Heavy Haulage supported
Foster driver was very pleased with his performance
that earned him the event’s hard charger award.

“We
were really moving forward in the feature race and that
was due to picking the right setup, which is a credit
to the hard work of my wonderful and hardworking team,”
expressed Anderson, who had earlier in the weekend qualified
ninth in the first group of time trials, and then placed
third and fifth in his two heat races, and finished
off the opening night with a 13th place in the preliminary
feature race after transferring via the B-main. “Although
it was pleasing end result, it’s hard not to think about
what might have been had we started further up in the
field.”
This
pleasing Grand Annual Classic result is now the perfect
lead up to this weekend’s Australian Title at Speedway
City in South Australia for Anderson and the team, and
they are confident of being able to better last season’s
fourth place result in the event. Anderson will also
run the Prelude to the Championship at the Speedway
City track this Wednesday night (January 25).
