A locally "put together" racing car is headed for the track this season. "The
Booger Hole Bandit" is an "AMRA open-wheeled, road warrior modified, Huff
chassis with a 406 cubic inch engine with 625 horsepower, which runs on alcohol,"
according to part-owner Eddie Piggott.
Rick Rickard, who operates the Koffee Kup Restaurant in Grantsville, says
the car is scheduled for 56 races this season, including two events at the
Tyler County Speedway on March 17 and March 27. Rickard has been
involved in auto racing for many years.

"It has been an exciting project to put this car on the track," said Piggott,
who expressed thanks to "Kevin Hartshorn and Keith Smith, Hollie
Greathouse and Richard, Larry and Jerry."
The group acknowledged their current sponsors, Bim's Barber Shop, the
Koffee Kup Restaurant, Calhoun Realty and Smoker Friendly. "We are
seriously looking for some additional sponsors," said Piggott, who can be
