The true stories of some of your favorite drivers, engineers, mechanics, and pit poppsies after their series ended.

Chim Chim -- growing tired of his unfulfilling relationship with Spritel, Chim Chim moved to California. His last known address is the "Neverland Ranch".

Spritel -- after years of denial and substance abuse, Spritel finally accepted his patrimony and took over control of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Sparky -- frustrated by years of last minute fixes to make the Mach 5 a winner with little recognition and reward, Sparky changed his name to Larry Curry and became an engineer for Menard Racing. "There's more money to be scammed in losing than in winning," says Sparky, who is currently doing 5 to 7 on the Cartoon Channel for mail fraud and theft.

Pops Racer -- after the engineering triumph of the Mach 5, Pops retired from motorsports. He went on to a lucrative career as engineering and stunt double for Jimmy Doohan in six motion pictures and one episode of STNG. Note the design influence of the Mark 5 on the Audi R8 more than thirty years later.

Trixie -- divorced Speed two years after the series ended, citing "irreconcilable differences". Dying her hair blue, she went on to a very successful career as the second girl in Hentai anime.

RacerX -- shirking his responsibility as a secret agent and disguised older brother of Speed, Rex Racer took a retirement ride in NASCAR with Home Depot, adopting a mild manner persona as a cover -- Tony Stewart.

Speed Racer -- Several years after his divorce from Trixie, Speed was sitting in front of his shoe closet contemplating his two hundred pair of Manolo Blahniks and reached an epiphany. He is now very comfortable with his ambiguous sexuality and spends alternate weekends at Champcar races as a Tecate Girl and racing in the IRL under the pseudonym 'D. Wheldon'.

Well, that explains the divorce, then. I always wondered. Couldn't have been the money!

Great stuff pchall ! ! !

Trixie also equals a Lincoln Park Chicago girl who drives a Jetta and goes to Starbucks. When I lived in Chicago and drove a Jetta, I was a Trixie. :shakehead

There is a prominent member on this forum who drives a VW... but he claims Trixies where he lives drive BMW's and as such he is exempt... I'm not so sure about that. ;)

I met a Trixie once who drove a BMW convertible. Right after she t-boned the right side of my GTi at Beech and Main she said, "Sorry, I dropped my fries...". :flame:

3 series to be exact :gomer: and they're called Ashley's or Heather's :p

Nothing less than 35K with accompanying midtown loft shall suffice for these modern day sororsisluts with finer taste.

When I was a kid in the 70s, Foyt was KING. Top Dog. Indy was a SHRINE.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen... :shakehead

A guy "Trixie" is a "Chad"!!!!

Crap, now I gotta go find the insipid Trixie website. Has all the rules, n stuff.

Here's a cumbersome link to some archived Trixie material,

Trixies, like, rule, an' stuff (http://web.archive.org/web/*/http%3A//www.lptrixie.com/)

Ank, you MET Connor...His older brother had (and lost) the beemer!

and BTW doc...RacerX would have needed a face lift and a complete change of body dynamic to become Tony Stewart!

My guess is that he went to WSU under the name "Chad Little" (Cheffy Godn's illegitimate brother) and got a law degree.

Just my take.. After living around cars my whole life, I never bought in to the whole Speed racer thing...except for the Racer X doormat that sits on my back porch! :D

But that's just me....

What about these guys, M.A.S.K. was sweet. They didn't really race a lot, but had a bunch of sweet rides.

Me too....I guess I'm too old and jaded now because I can't watch it as an adult. But I will always have fondness for it because it started me down the road into racing. In 1972 when I was in Kindegarten....we even had race cars show up at our school, including an orange McLaren with the number 5 on it. Of course I thought it was the real Speed Racer car come to life...The sounds of the engines of those cars is something I will never forget. I came home with a Denny Hulme poster with that car on it.

Bump -- because Mijack/Conquest are rewriting the story with their new sponsorship from the makers of a line of Speed Racer toys.
