Tom Slick in the Thunderbolt Grease-slapper and Peter Perfect in the #9 Turbo Terrific (from the 'toon Wacky Races) should challenge Speed Racer and Racer X in the World Auto Racing Championship.
Man, I don't know why it took me so long to look this up here! I LOVED this show when I was a kid. My dad loves stock vintage cars, but my brother and I drag race a '67 Chevelle. Coincidence? I think not.
In the late 80s I raced a Nova at Bunker Hill Dragway in Indiana, and there was a T-bucket there that was called "The Thunderbolt Grease-Slapper."
I'm 53 years old now and loved cartoons like this back in the 60's. Good wholesome fun. Ya had to be a pretty sharp kid to catch some of the dead pan humor. It's still funny today. And the Super Chicken theme at the beginning... is actually the birth of modern Rap.
Tom Slick and Marigold sure sounded like Dudley Do-Right and nel.(Chuckle!)
I understand producer Jay Ward belived in the same sort of voices whenever possible,so he probably told Bill Scott and June Foray to use the same voices.
my favorite episode was the one where Tom went to nevada to see some indians who tried to grow apples in the desert, but couldn't, and built a racetrack instead. they called the race the "apple-less indian 500." how do you come up with jokes that bad?
Back in the day ! I had a 1969 convertible Camaro, powered by a 327, Hurst shifter hooked to a Muncie 4 speed turning a set of cragars wrapped with 60s on the front and 50s on the back. a friend of mine started calling me Tom Slick, ive been useing that name ever since.
I remember the rubber baby buggy bumper and catfish whiskers episodes. If I remember correctly, The Thunderbolt Greaseslapper was actually shown only once in a monster Rally race episode. In the other episodes, Tom Slick converted the car to whatever race he entered. Nerd Alert!!! YIKES!!!
wow tried to look up lyrics for this and they have it as thunder boat grease slapper, I think it is thunderbolt three slapper, as in the day when racing, you slapped shifter 3 times

Methinks the name of that car was a metaphor for something else.

If who ever wrote and performed the songs for this and Super Chicken did not get an award of some kind, they should now.
