New Website:  The website has been updated with a new header and a new 1s logo.  We’ve now got flames.  We are hoping that will make the cars faster.

The 2010 Plans:   Scott will be racing a new Dakota Engine powered Millenium Nightmare midwest modified and starting his rookie year in the “A” Modfied class driving a Dakota Engine powered J-Car modified.  Check out http://www.scottbintzracing.com/news/ for latest progress on the cars.

Whats Next:  We are currently rounding up all our sponsors for the 2010 season and hope to have that completed in the middle of Feb.  The cars should be virtually race ready in the next couple of weeks.  The decals will be installed in March and we hope to be at the first pre-racing event the first Saturday in April and racing by the 2nd weekend in April.  (we hope) 

Until Then… Stay Warm, Smile and Help Others.     Oh almost forgot, a great friend of Scott’s created a facebook fan club for SBR that you might want to check out.

Plus an extra thanks to Mitch and the crew at J-Car Race Cars, Dustin and Brian at Millenium Nightmare Chassis, Spencer Johnson, Johnnie C and Randy’s Auto Xpress for helping fine tune the race car and keeping us going on the track this year. Oh and I can’t forget the incredible Brooks and Shaw Driving School.

Over 40 Wissota Midwest Modified race cars showed up for the first night of the Jamestown Speedways Double Header Labor Day Weekend Races.  Thanks for some major fixes by Mitch and the crew at Specialty Fabricating J-Car and final touches by Spencer Johnson and the head grinder Shawn Herrick, we were ready to race.  I drew 12 and was on pole of the 6th heat.  The track was dry with some tack in it.  On the start, I got the lead and we had 2 cautions in before we finally made a lap.  On the last re-start, I took the lead and kept it with Ryan Mikkelson hot on my tail.  I was super happy for the heat win at such a big show.  Hard to believe its the 15th heat win this year.

For the feature, I drew 4.  This put me in row two on the outside.  Next to Dustin Strand of course.  We were the last feature of the night so the track was super dry with not to much of a cushion on the top.  We got going and I was able to move into 3rd and then after a re-start into 2nd.  Strand had the lead.  Seemed like i was gaining on him in corner 1 and 2 and loosing him in corner 3 and 4.  I had been running low most of the race.  After another caution, I picked low and Flyin Ryan Mikkelson was high beside me.  Strand got a good start and Mikkelson and I were battling pretty hard for 2nd.  We had one last caution.  This time, I picked high and Mikkelson was low on the re-start behind Stand.  The top was fast but wasnt able to make a good first corner  running high and Mikkelson moved into 2nd chasing down Strand.  After a few laps Josh Eberhardt passed me low and we battled for 3rd awhile, but eventually Eberhardt was clearly in 3rd.  The finish was pretty spectacular as Strand won, but Mikkelson was right there with Eberhard in the mix as well.  I finished 4th.  Making this race the 25th top five of the season.  Wow…unbelieveable.      Also, I would like to give another Special Thanks to Mitch at J-Car Race Cars for doing the major fixes on the race car and Spencer Johnson for fine tuning it.  As without there help, I wouldn’t have been racing this weekend.  So again, THANK YOU!!

Should be some more good racing tonight at the Jamestown Speedway.   Stay tuned.

Wrecked in Lisbon: On Tuesday,  September 1st, we headed down to the Sheyenne River Speedway in Lisbon, ND for championship night.  Started in the 3rd position of the heat and  moved into 2nd pretty quick.  Tried chasing down the leader but wasn’t able to make a pass.  For the feature, started in the same position as it was a straight up race. Moved into 2nd and was running down the leader.  There was a few cautions in the first few laps.  On the restart, I picked low and was on the inside lane side by side the leader coming out of turn 2.    The leader pulled away a bit and coming out of corner four, I was hit pretty hard in the rear and pushed into the wall. I think I was on 2 wheels from the flag stand to the end of the wall.  Another driver was called for the caution.  After the a stop in the pits and a tire change, got back out on the track.  The car was in pretty rough shape but made it back to 7th or 8th.  (Not sure of official results yet).   After we got the car home we realized the entire rear section of the car and fuel cell was destroyed.   The rear clip was barely hanging on to the chassis.  On a positive note, Ryan Mikkelson, who is also sponsored by RealTruck.Com, came from tail end in the feature and won the race along with the track championship.

THANK YOU Mitch & the Specialty Fabricating J-Car Crew

Fixed By J-Car: I really thought I might be done for the season and certainly wouldn’t be racing the Jamestown Speedway’s Labor Day Double Header this coming weekend.  However, on Thursday, Mitch Johnson and the crew at Specialty Fabricating J-Car in Fargo, ND said they would fix it it and have it done by Friday afternoon, provided we got the race car down to them ASAP.  Matt dropped off the car around Noon on Thursday.  The J-Car race car crew went to work and true to their word, the entire rear clip was replaced, a new fuel cell install, new nerf bars and new side tin.   On Friday afternoon at 3:30 we were back in business.  WOW, they literally fixed everything.  Well, not everything, my only task was to zip tie the fuel line, install a new brake line, replace a bent shock and find some decals.   All I can say is

THANK YOU  J-Car!!! 

oh, on the decals, Mike at RoughRider Signs, was also kind enough to make some quick decals for the race car on short notice as well.
