It
is without a doubt the best opportunity
ever offered to Grant Anderson since he
started in Sprintcars nearly six years ago
and you don’t have to think too hard about
the answer that he gave Queensland
based car owner Dave Horrell when the latter
asked him about joining his team to contest
the World Series Sprintcar (WSS) Championship
and other major shows throughout the 2009/10
season.
Switching
from the family owned VIC # 37 Foster to
the Horrell owned, Allan Smith prepared
QLD # 83 Eagle that will be powered by Scott
Inglis prepared 410ci Chev, is not a full-time
switch and Anderson expects to still run
the family owned car on various occasion
this season.
Anderson,
who drove for Horrell on twice towards the
end of the 2007/08 season, will link back
up with Horrell, and also crew chief Allan
Smith and Scott Inglis and will have the
ongoing support of Anderson Snr, David,
who will not be too far away either.
“I
cannot wait for the WSS Championship to
get started and we are aiming to give this
our best shot,” Anderson enthused. “We are
not going to be a contracted driver on the
WSS Championship trail but that doesn’t
bother us whatsoever.”
Wanting
to make the most of this wonderful opportunity
Anderson does not mix his words when he
outlines his intentions for the WSS Championship
and all the other major shows, such as the
Grand Annual Classic, Kings Challenge and
Presidents Cup.
“I
will have some very strong equipment under
me so there is certainly going to be no
excuses,” Anderson stated, who said that
contesting the WSS Championship as a non
contractor driver will not bother the team
at all as they can make their own choices
as to where they want to race. “Like I do
each race meeting I go out there to win
and my team share the same intentions. We
are all on the same page and that is going
to be a great confidence boost heading into
our opening race meetings. I am under no
illusions that we are going to be on the
pace straight away but I would expect that
within a handful of shows we should be right
up in contention night after night.”
The
Anderson and Horrell combination has the
potential to ruffle a few feathers this
season and their intentions are going to
be match by their enthusiasm towards building
a successful partnership.
