This amazing all over print t-shirt celebrates the iconic Japanese television series Mach GoGoGo, or as it was known in the States, Speed Racer. The series was made by Tatsunoko Production and aired in Japan during the late 60s. It was also aired in syndication in the US during the same era, and many American viewers will remember the show's comically unique English language dub, which was created by Peter Fernandez. The dub was notorious for its rapid-fire and over-the-top dialogue, which was recorded by an extremely small cast that included Fernandez himself as both Speed and Racer X.

Fernandez was only given two days to script and record each episode, and this went on while he was also working on the dub of Marine Boy. It was often a struggle to get the English script to fit into the Japanese animations, which is what resulted in the show's comically bizarre and fast-paced dialogue. The dub wound up becoming a distinct and endearing part of the Americanized series, and many viewers found it an integral part of the show's charm. Fernandez was also responsible for writing the English lyrics and rearranging the show's theme song, which also became an iconic part of the series.
