[Steven Steel] Welcome racers, and spectators to the first ever Steel Ball Run! The SBR is a cross-continental race, beginning right here in California, and concluding all the way in New York City! As a symbol of our racers' burning hearts, we have a 10,000 year old ice cube, which will progressively melt, eventually thawing the trophy from its grasp in New York City as our racers' blazing spirits destroy this ancient ice! The race itself will begin in 24 hours time. Racers! Familiarize yourself with each other, make certain you've paid your admission fee of $1,000 and received your racing numbers, and gather your belongings for the first stage: The 15,000 meter dash across California! Spectators! Gather your belongings and rest up. Our workers will escort you to your balloons.

[SBR Worker] Our list of racers has been finalized! Our top bets for winning the Steel Ball Run are: Gaucho! A Mexican racer who annually crosses the entire country! Rio (RioRioMa)! A racer of unknown origin whose swift movements make it look as if they swim through the earth itself! Diego Brando! A British Jockey with a endless desire for power and prestige!
