Very Unlikely: Rabies is relatively uncommon even in raccoons. Rabies can't go through unbroken skin. People can get rabies only via a bite from a rabid animal or possibly through saliva infected scratches, abrasions, open wounds. The rabies virus is short-lived when exposed to open air. Given these facts, there is almost no chance that the raccoon you hit was rabid, and that the saliva could have infected you.
