This is part two of my pinewood derby story.
Pinewood Derby Speed
I had to wait a long time for it to be my turn. Meanwhile, I realized I was racing the other person in the pack.The person that almost beat me at the pack races! It was finally my turn. I was very nervous. My car luckily won the heat and set the new record for my group. I raced twice more and won them both. I barely beat the guy from pack twice. I was very interested to see who would beat my record. Fortunately, no one beat my record. When the places were given, I was very nervous.
Simon did not come in third place. They said that Simon came in second place. I was questioning that. I thought that he would come in first. I was a little disappointed. Someone else came in first and then I got really mad. I thought Simon’s car was faster. I was a very disappointed. Simon had only won a patch! I thought he would win a trophy! A big one! Just a little bit smaller than mine because he won second place! I was really mad at this. I was also mad because Simon’s car was two miles per hour ahead of me. There was six cars ahead of me in speed. Now it was time to announce Original and Beauty. They had to pick tiger that raced for Beauty because there was only one tiger for Beauty!
Kyle (not in my pack) was in third place which was somewhat awesome and somewhat terrible. The awesome thing was I might be in second or first. The terrible thing was that I might not be in second or first. Another awesome thing is that he goes to my school (at that time). Cole (not in my pack), Kyle’s older brother, won second place which was somewhat terrific and somewhat horrible. The terrific thing was that I might be in first place. The horrible thing was that I might not be in first. Another terrific thing is that he goes to my school (at that time). A horrible thing was that I did not win second. But as I said, I might win first. Now it was time for them to announce first place. I held my breath. They said that the person who came in first wanted to be a dad, a doctor, and an engineer. I was the only person that wanted to be a dad, a doctor, and an engineer! It might be me in first place! They also said that the person was from Pack 461. That is the Pack I am in! They said that the persons name is Matthew
! THAT’S ME!!!!!
I went up to hold my trophy and receive it. I was not nervous at all. I had a big smile on my face and got my trophy. Then it was time for the siblings awards ceremony.
On the ride home we were all happy an ready to tell the pack. We had to wait until the next Pack meeting to get our Pack trophy but I could wait. I knew exactly where I would put it. In between the first year Pack trophy and this year Pack trophy would be the district trophy. The trophy from Pack this year would be to the right of the district trophy. “Now, it’s time to win again,” I thought. Two years later, when I was in 5th grade, I made a limo and got 6th place. That was the year Simon got it.
