MODSTOX WORLD CHAMPION
Preston born Scott Bodilly became the
youngest MODSTOX Gold Top
Championship Winner when he took the
crown at Northampton last month. Only in
his second season, this twenty year-old has
managed to hold off some of the big names
and seasoned veterans to take the title and
Gold Roof.
Scott started racing Ministox at Warton
Raceway, Lancashire, in his pre-teen years
aged 12 and after just four years learning
his craft, moved onto racing national
Modstox.
These smaller versions of the well-known F2
Stockcars are sometimes used as a feeder
32
class. With smaller power units and lighter
weight limits it allows drivers to race without
having to break the bank. These cars can
be picked up for less than you’d pay for a
decent laptop and won’t be ready for the
scrap yard for many a year to come.
Scott is now looking towards next season as
he and his father are building a new car to
race around the country and hopefully
defend his Gold Roof.
It goes without saying that Scott would not
be where he is without the help of a few
people so here goes the name check;
Optimum Signs, Allthread Tools &
Fasteners, Clock Garage, Northern
Bangers, R.B. Industries, T.J. Motorsport,
and the bank of Mum & Dad.
Scott says there’s someone special he must
thank for their support, who could that be
you might ask? - Yes Kirstie it’s you!
If you fancy racing in this class, why not
contact www.modstox.co.uk or
have a chat with Scott as his car is now up
for sale. You’ll have to bring a little more
than the price of a PC though - after all it’s a
Championship winning car now.
