Like some people have mentioned before..the demon Speed scene traumatized so much when I was a kid, that it took me 35 years to get up the courage to relive this episode. That face still freaks me out.
I first watched this episode over 40 years ago, and still get chills after Snake Oiler drives off. Speed smells the oil of the Mach V and finds his way into the cockpit. He starts the car but questions how he will drive blind. That's when Racer X starts his car: "I recognize the sound of that car. It can only mean that Racer X has come back into the race. Will so have I!" Completely far fetched, but in real life there is something about the unwavering determination to succeed despite all odds.
@panamaniak OMG I swear that the demon racer scared the hell out of me too when I was around 5 o 6 too! I have always thought of this episode, and I've just found it here (next week I'll be 43, LoL
the best anime ever. all these anime's today are so gay and stupid. sure this show can be a little cheesy by today's standards, but a lot of shows were.
Speed's racing while blind makes sense from a wuxia perspective--- he is using the same sort of martial arts echolocation supersense for his driving that blinded martial artists in the movies use for blindfighting and even for catching arrows in midflight by the sound of the arrow's travel through the air
Speed Racer has always approached racing like a martial artist, and the blinded martial artist using super-hearing has long been an Asian trope in legend and film
"Speed has just beaten the most dangerous race in the world, but even more dangerous thrills lie ahead." WTF?! No! It's over. If that was the /most/ dangerous race, it doesn't get any worse!!!
Those bad guys swearing to beat Speed can't be any more humiliated than they already were if that was the most dangerous one. XD
"speed just won the most dangerous race in the world, but there is even more dangerous thrills ahead" (or something like that) How does that make any fucking sense at all?
The nightmare scared the shit out of me when I was little o_o

Not sure if anyone knows yet, but Racer X is Speed's brother Rex who ran away from home many years ago.

notice how the American cartoon has Racer X explaining to the audience that he is faking having his legs broken?
but not in the Japanese version!
why do we Americans always treat our children like idiots who are incapable of reading between the lines???

At 15:10, the speedometer on the Mach 5 is flickering just above 270. The Mach 5's speedo is in kilometers.
For us Americans, that's just over 170 mph! On a dirt road??
