Today I raced with my cub scout pack at the pinewood derby. It was mainly exciting today because I had a lot of theories to test out and that I was eager to win a prize because I never got one based on skill or design of the car. Also, my best friend told me that I could win and I specially tested it. I was impatient and felt like I had waited 45 minutes though it was only 15 minutes. When I did the speed race I was slightly disappointed when I got second place though. on the next part you push your car but you have to accurately land on the lowest number possible not too far or too close to the beginning. The next part is where you jump and land as far as you can. On the round two I failed the practice round but got a good score on the next after that I got another good score lifting my spirits. On the next competition I did average. The next part which didn't count in the overall score was also about accuracy but to get the car into the center garage I strategezied based on past mistakes and hope I could do it to win a cool sticker. I did it before but today I wasn't lucky. The two parts I didn't actually like was when I said a couple of mean things to my friend. He told me about it and I apologized because he said I was being mean. Apparently at the end there was a drawing for raffle tickets the prize was so much money that every parent volunteered to put some in I lost my ticket so had zero chance of winning. In the end I was surprised of what I got I surprised my mom the most. it was memorable because Today I won my only pinewood derby prize and it will be my last one too.
