SEAFORTH, ONTARIO (March 23, 2011) – Bill Anderson has raced in all snowmobile competition venues, and said he is looking forward to the upcoming season of the new Pro Bike & Sled Series, PBSS ~ Pro Bike & Sled Series | Pro Bike & Sled Series, presented by Wiseco Performance Products for drag racing.
“I’ve competed in ice and grass and asphalt drag racing for many years,” he said. “I started on the grass and ice, then moved over to oval track racing, and was quite successful at it.”
Anderson said he then got back into drag racing a sled, but raced on the asphalt when it was just coming into popularity.
“I did some asphalt sled racing about 10 years ago, and got out of it for a while, but everything all fell together with this new series and I’m looking forward to it.”
Running in the PBSS Pro Sled division, Anderson will be aboard a Billy Howard-prepared 2009 Arctic Cat Z1 Turbo, powered by a two-cylinder, 1056-cc turbocharged four-stroke engine. The chassis is an Arctic Cat Twin Spar unit, and the transmission is an Arctic Cat CVT (constant velocity transmission).
Anderson will be riding the Team Fun Racing entry, and Frank Brugger will act as crew chief. Others on the team include Harold Chesney and Craig Millar. He noted the group has been together for 25 years as a team, and will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
The former oval track sled racer, with a great deal of racing experience throughout North America, is predicting he will be posting times in eight-second range at speeds over 140 mph this season.
He also said the fans are going to enjoy watching the PBSS, which gets underway May 20-22 at the Cayuga Dragway of Toronto Motorsports Park for the Victoria Day Weekend Challenge.
“We’re going to see some good racing,” he said. “We need the noise and the speed for the fans, and we’re going to provide it.”
