Ethan's Pinewood Derby

A couple weeks ago, I (Ethan) had my school-wide Pinewood Derby race for Boy Scouts. My car was purple with a yellow stripe and was designed to look like a lightning bolt. Me and my dad worked on the car together. There is a practice race track that we tested our car on. I got third out of about 30 overall. Then I went to the district race.

In the district race, I got second in my heat out of eight. I won my first and second races. On the third race, I lost and went down to the loser's bracket. I won the next race and went to the championship. I raced the same person I lost to in the third race and lost to him again. During the fourth race, my car flipped over on a piece of popcorn! They had to clean off the track and redo the race. I had a good time racing and making my car.
