1967 series
Snake Oiler drives as a member of The Car Acrobatic Team and is their best driver. His car, as well as the other members', features unique retractable wings to get better distance and maneuverability on acrobatic driving maneuvers. Speed Racer accepts Snake's challenge to participate in the Alpine Race. Late in the race, as Snake seems headed for sure victory, Speed catches up to his opponent and warned him that his car is leaking oil. He ignores Speed's warning, and his car explodes. He escapes the explosion but swears revenge on Speed. Unique to Snake, his car's cockpit is off-set in the opposite direction of the ones on his fellow drivers' cars (with the exception of Captain Terror).
