Lamoineâs Bradford highlights racing success with perfect run
WINTERPORT â For Mike Bradford, this was a moment of pure adrenaline.
Competing in the finals of a T&L Gamblers Series race last month at Winterport Dragway, Bradford, a Lamoine native and passionate drag racer, was, in his own words, âamped up.â After a series of top finishes, he had every right to be as he competed for a first-place finish.
As the tree lit to start the June 5 finals series race, then, Bradfordâs newly remodeled 1937 Chevy Coupe came roaring out of the gate. Within seconds, he had barreled across the finish line and was on his way to receive his results slip.

OXFORD He was in the driver’s seat of the slowest set of wheels, but no one was happier at the drag strip Friday night than Ricky Moody.
Friday’s racing at New Oxford Dragway was dedicated to Moody, who goes by the nickname “Fordman” due to his love of Ford cars.
