-----Thats at least one of the articles I was thinking of. Great cars, those little monsters!!! I still have another article in mind on the same cars that referred to the project car as "Bad Bascomb" but it was a bit lighter in nature. I know I read it, I really do. Usually I just forget things. I dont just arbitrarily come up with this stuff. I was sure it was "Hot Rod" as well, but maybe not. I wonder if Hot Rod did a follow up article because everybody showed so much interest???.........Bill S

Bill,

Here's the only thing that I could find...and it's definitely NOT what you were looking for

From So Cal in 1970 came the Bad Bascomb's Ghost Nova flopper of Bill Bradford. The Fletcher chassised, Rat milled car was run from 68-70. Bill Bradford, Sr., owned the car, Bill Bradford, Jr., drove the car and brother Rick made up the crew in 1970. Name came from a character in an old Wallace Berry western movie... bank robber Bad Bascomb. The ghost part came when Bradford beat Big John Mazmanian at Irwindale, CA after a magazine writer made the statement the team "didn't have a ghost of a chance." Car was sold after the 70 season when, in Bill Bradford, Jr. words the team "stopped racing due to expense of building grenade motors to compete. Didn't have large enough sponsors at that time and had to finance the majority of the racing ourselves." Teams biggest win came at the Gold Cup Championship at Irwindale in 1969.
