Tj is one of the easiest guys to talk to in the pits, he&#8217;s consistently fast, has well setup cars, and he&#8217;s always in the hunt for the win. Whether it&#8217;s carpet or pavement Tj has put his car on the box frequently. Let&#8217;s take a look &#8220;Under the Hood&#8221; of his ROAR National Championship winning ride.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-OzwM5lvyCmU\/UcM06wIuZCI\/AAAAAAAAE9w\/1WZUU8vU_pY\/s1600\/car2.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"298\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-OzwM5lvyCmU\/UcM06wIuZCI\/AAAAAAAAE9w\/1WZUU8vU_pY\/s400\/car2.JPG\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div>Inside Tj&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corally.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Corally HMX<\/span><\/a> is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/rs.html\" target=\"_blank\">Tekin RS Gen2<\/a> esc paired with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teamtekin.com\/redline_gen2.html\" target=\"_blank\">Tekin Gen2 Redline<\/a> motor.

His transponder is right up front in the car ahead of the shock tower but behind the bumper enough to protect it. In a drag race to the line, these few inches can be the difference between 1st and 2nd. Directly behind the RS Gen2 is a motor fan tucked nicely between the two components for maximum effectiveness.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-3WCmSne-YFA\/UcM238qPcTI\/AAAAAAAAE-Q\/NTEXFtsIoK8\/s1600\/car6.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"298\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-3WCmSne-YFA\/UcM238qPcTI\/AAAAAAAAE-Q\/NTEXFtsIoK8\/s400\/car6.JPG\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re attending one of the larger events in Tj&#8217;s home state of Florida, Nationals or the IIC race in Vegas and you see the fastest guy in the paddock with a beard, make sure you say &#8220;hi&#8221; to Tekin powered Tj Bradley!<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-L_f4vVCUacA\/UcM3a0vJO4I\/AAAAAAAAE-Y\/9tUviD_5NK0\/s1600\/TJ+2012+ROAR+Nats+Champ.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-L_f4vVCUacA\/UcM3a0vJO4I\/AAAAAAAAE-Y\/9tUviD_5NK0\/s400\/TJ+2012+ROAR+Nats+Champ.JPG\" width=\"297\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to On-road racing there are very few veteran racers still at the top of their game.
