Is this Speed Racer? Tank? LS/Jr?

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!

I didn't go out for the test ride with my dad when he bought it, but Gary (and my dad) complained of being sore a day or two after my dad ran it around. We had a lot of fun with that boat and ran it hard every poker run. When the run started the throttles were on the dash. However, no expense was spared on maintaining the boat at TNT either (ouch). 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.

All is well Tank! I Have a couple things I want to do first but my sights are set on a Gladiator in the next three or four years hopefully.

Who would've known you'd grow up to be so damn responsible. Your dad told me about the place you bought a couple years ago. You're setting yourself up right. Hard work now and you'll live the rest of your life like most dream about. Congrats on the success that followed your hard work, you deserve it man.

They grow up quick!
