Prologue: It's Back!

June 8, 3016

Many years ago, President Bert Raccoon held a race to determine who would become the next vice-president of the United States of Canerica. It lasted twelve days, and the race track extended all the way from Los Angeles to New York. Countless humans and toons participated in the event, but only one snagged the victory-Ralph Raccoon, who then went on to take the place of Bugs Bunny as vice-president.

Now 999 years had passed, and everything was already back to normal. Not very long ago, Magica De Spell plotted to assassinate Bert by using a Poisonous Boll Weevil. Unfortunately for her, the plan failed when the president's young granddaughter saved his life and sent her on the run. From there, she and Negaduck secretly formulated a new plan to overthrow Bert Raccoon and take over Canerica.

At that time, Bert decided to bring back the Great Big Transcontinental Race for old times' sake. It had the same rules, but this time he made a few changes-once it took place in July; now he changed it to June. The original race went from Los Angeles to New York; now it was the other way around, from New York to Los Angeles. The prize was the vice-presidency; now the prize this time was the most coveted prize of all: the Golden Star.

Ralph, the champion of the race that started it all, heard of the new race and decided to spring back into action. Once again, he became a participant in the new Great Big Transcontinental Race. But what he didn't notice is that somewhere out there, an old rival from his and Melissa's past would step up and challenge him in the famous race that made history.
