     The only race on the Piranha flat track was the SCRRA Retro Coupe. This is the anglewinder class and drew 7 racers.

That paint looks like something Bob Hughes would do. Bob has never lost some of his wing car paint schemes.

If you look at the concurs photos that is Hughes paint work.

Bob has been a local racing friend of mine since 1996. I could tell just by looking at the photos without reading anything that the body was Bob's work. When we had a raceway in Manchester, we often had discussions about body painting. In his younger years, Bob was one of the best production body painters in the US. I painted for myself & a couple friends.
