 Versatile
is an often over-used term in auto racing but in the case of Queensland jack-of-all-trades Todd Wanless it's an appropriate
description. Whether it's bitumen or dirt, Wanless loves it all.
If it's
got wheels, he'll let it loose on a variety of different
surfaces.
That racing passion has been bred into him at an early age; his
Dad Ron was a former two-time Australian Speedcar Champion and
young Todd has modeled his aggressive racing nature on that
legend his father created over three decades ago.
These days living in Rochedale in Queensland, Wanless is a
committed family man (he and wife Robyn have two young
daughters) a voracious business-man (owning several business
interests) and a hard charging racer.
 Though his first love was horses (he raced Trotters as a
youngster) Todd moved first into road racing before eventually
settling into the fire-breathing Sprintcar ranks and then
inevitably being drawn to the
class his Dad mastered - the wild and wingless Speedcars.
Recognised as the toughest state level scene in Sprintcars,Todd
fought fought his way to the top of the 2004/05 Queensland
Sprintcar season, winning the dual crown of the Comp Cams
Sprintcar Series and the Modified Sprintcar Association of
Queensland's club championship.
As adept at circuit racing as at Speedway, Todd has spent over a
decade in circuit racing, including racing at the Bathurst 1000
and in V8Supercars.
This season will see Todd race a twin campaign in Sprintcars and
Speedcars, racing at the major speedway events in Queensland and
across the country. Todd's nine month season begins in Mackay on
September 9 and you can keep track of it all here at
www.toddwanless.com.au as the Aceways Motorsport / ABC Auto
Group Sprintcar team and the Ross Keihne Racing Speedcar team
race to win on a Saturday night just around the corner.
