Sparky

Sparky is Speed Racer's mechanic.

Character traits
Sparky is very loyal to Speed, and does whatever it takes to help him. He will try anything from finding an essential auto part to riding with Trixie in her airplane to make sure thing run smoothly (and to get a front row seat at the show). He has been known to snoop around the competitors vehicles to get new ideas. Along with Pops, he knows the Mach 5 inside and out, and he makes sure it outperforms all other cars on the track. Sometimes this means making last minute adjustments seconds before the race begins.

Sparky assists Speed off the track as well. This sometimes requires him to put down his wrench and put up his fists, although not very well.

Relationships
Sparky is friends with Speed, the Racer family, and Trixie.
