Is this Speed Racer? Tank? LS/Jr?

After we sold it LS ran it in the SCOPE PR for the new owner and I believe was the 2nd Vee to one of the card stops behind that 42 Fountain with big power/6's.

I saw the new pics of Speed Racer and although it looks like he did a hell of a job re-doing it I really liked the original paint. These (4) boats should never be changed. Sorry I wasn't on here sooner but looks like the question was answered!

Don't forget, there's a straight bottom Carbon Fiber Key West F2 Champ TG in the family as well.

Although it already had a Lip Ship redo prior to my owning it. Still love it though!!

That's a great boat. Randy wild owned it for a while. I always really like the F2 single step that was painted with the cloudy blue paint with cigarette down the side. Believe it's at LOTO now. There was a 33 cafe open painted to match as a support boat but unfortunately that boat was re-stored and they got rid of the cloud paint job.
