Speedvision is airing the original "Speed Racer" cartoon again. It brings back alot of fond memories of my after school TV watching. The Mach 5 and Racer X's Shooting Star would really make cool replica's. They are both available in 1/18 scale die-cast. The show airs at 6pm. and 7am duing the week and is also aired on the weekends. My 6 year old son is already hooked. I wonder if our Cobras could keep up with the Mach 5? Maybe a GT-40 MkII or IV.

"Go Speed Racer Go!"

Jeeze Gary,

The snow is only just starting to fly here in Cleveland and you are already having cabin-fever delusional syptoms. Turn off the TV... TURN OFF THE TV!

BTW, I used to think that Michael Jackson wanted to make himself look like Dianna Ross, but now I know he wants to look like Speed Racer!

Hey Factory Five, why don't you guys make up a mold for the Mach 5? I bet it would be a great seller. The Cobra promotion guys could make a Speed Racer uniform attire with it. Spriedal and Chim-Chim would enjoy that!
