Speed Racer - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Anyone into this 60's classic about a young man trying be the best racer in the circuit?

Kinda have fond memories about it, and even today, it's still a good anime.

Just so you know, Warner Bros. is planning to make a Speed Racer movie aiming for a release in theaters in 2008, directed by the Wachowski brothers of Matrix fame.

Here's the link just in case:

Two new stars have recently joined the Speed Racer cast:

Matthew Fox (TV's Lost) is in final negotiations to star as Racer X

Australian actor Kick Gurry (who starred in Garage Days directed by Alex Proyas of I, Robot fame) is in negotiations to star as Sparky
