Speed and beauty the right combination for local racer

Speed is habit-forming. Just ask Jay Bradford of Bad Habit Racing what is means to push the pedal to the floor and he’d describe an adrenaline-packed experience for which words alone can do no justice.

His 1960 Chevrolet Corvette was purchased “al fresco” in 1969. Bradford negotiated the sale by swapping the body from his 1968 Chevy Camaro. The Corvette was less than iconic, being completely trashed and featuring a view of the heavens courtesy of a top that no longer resisted the elements. The front end was smashed and just about every detail that defined this ride was in dire need of an overhaul.
