Speed Racer began as a Shonen Book in 1966 and soon became the animated series that most people know. Created in 1997, Speed Racer X is a reboot of the original series. It lasted 34 episodes in Japan as Mach GoGoGo or Mahha GoGoGo and was imported to the US by DiC and Nickelodeon in 2002. This 3-cel key master setup features Speed driving the Mach 5.
