Bugriders - The race of kings USA

The current ruler of Planet Entymion is near death, so the time has come to select a new emperor. The Entymionians don't waste tax dollars or time holding elections; they race for glory. Instead of cars, hovercrafts, or spaceships, they race bugs. Big, flying bugs. Whoever wins the 'Great Race' is not only revered as the greatest bug rider throughout the entire planet, but is also crowned Emperor of Entymion.
