Mark's father died in a plane crash in Alaske 10 years earlier. The cars all race through
snow and ice, using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in their cars to guide them. Collector
sabotages Charger's car, using a scrambler to mess up his GPS so Charger will get lost in
the wilderness. Specter creates an avalanche for Flyer and Spitfire, but they manage to escape.

into an icy river and must eject in his Rescue Racer. But that crashes into a rock, and
Charger end up drenched in the freezing water. He ends up walking to an old abandoned
cabin, but finds a bear inhabiting it. Charger escapes down a steep hill and loses the bear,
and also himself. Back at the crash site, Collector stops to collect a piece of Charger's
car, falling into a water on his way. He gets stuck to the door handle, just as the bear
shows up.
At home base, Duck & Jack realize Charger is lost and call for
search & rescue. Miles begins to worry. Stunts, Flyer and Spitfire arrive, then decide to
head out into a blizzard to look for Charger. They almost run into Junker, who crashes into a tree
for the second time. Meanwhile Charger, wet and tired, has collasped. Miles is listening to
the car radios and realizes Collector is too quiet. The rest of Team Fastex head for Collector's
car, and find Charger's wreck. Flyer catches Collector trying to steal a piece of Charger's car, and
they realize Charger is gone. Miles gets upset, not wanting his brother to die like his
father did. Charger, sitting against a rock, sees a plane goes down and finds the energy to
go help. He finds an injured pilot, makes a fire, then goes for help. He collapses just before
Megan finds him. They all go back to the plane, but the pilot is gone, and they discover
it is Junior McCutchen's old plane (Mark's dad). Charger's friends think he hallucinated.
Specter ends up winning the race. At the hospital, Team Fastex, Miles and a TV crew are in
Mark's room, and Mark, while desperately looking for a pair of pants, accidentally shows his
"rear bumper" to the world.
