Trivia
- First appearance of Mr. Mammoth and his bird sidekick. Also the first time we hear him speak clearly briefly.
- First and only appearances of the Solar Coaster and the Sneer Mobile. Same goes for the Scottish accented race commentator, Haggis Lamborgini (whose last name is a play on the Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.), voiced by Derek Diorio.
- One of the animators for this episode was Nik Ranieri who would later work as supervising animator for many character for Walt Disney Animation Studios.
- During the shot where Bert is surprised that the Sneermobile is Cedric's, Melissa has a tan underbelly like she had in The Raccoons and the Lost Star.
