Commentary
Speed Racer is another one of the shows that I watched as a child and as I grew up Speed Racer continued to hold a special place in my heart. There are a handful of episodes that I still remember with fondness, but, my favorite episode by far is the Mammoth Car. I used to have the VHS version of the movie and a handful of episodes.
