Speed Racer

Announcer #1: Yes, race fans, it’s that time of year once again: time for Cub Scout Pinewood Derby!

Announcer #2: Entering this year’s race, we have seasoned veteran Trey Speer driving the #319 car.

Announcer #1: He totally revamped his design from last year, everything from the shape of the nose to the placement of the weights.  You know, last year was his first year to race in the Pinewood Derby.  He placed #4 out of all the Wolves, which wasn’t a bad showing for his first year.

Announcer #2: I understand he’s named his car this year.  I hear he calls it the “Road Rocket.”

Announcer #1: You know, he’s had quite a year this year.  His family has had been dealing with some serious health concerns.  We’ve been told that his dad has been undergoing chemotherapy and helped him build the car following his most recent treatment.

Announcer #2: Well, you wouldn’t know it from the amount of focus put into this years’ car.  A whole new design, new look, and new colors.  It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Announcer #1: Just look at the lineup of amazing cars this year!  Those Bear Cub Scouts really made some incredible racers.  That’s going to make for a tough decision on the design competition this year!

Announcer #2: You’re right about that!  Boy, I’m glad I don’t have the job of judging those cars.

Announcer #1: It looks like the Road Rocket is ready to race!  I believe I see Trey Speer at the finish line ready to cheer on his car!

Announcer #2: This is what it’s all about!  The excitement, the anticipation…I can hardly wait!  Let’s watch the call from our booth!

Announcer #1: A bit of a slow start for the veteran Trey Speer.  The racers are reorganizing for the next race.  Let’s see how the Road Rocket fares on its final race.

Announcer #2: You know, it seems as though the Road Rocket just didn’t quite have it this year.

Announcer #1: Yeah, it was a tough year for our veteran racer.  There was a lot of competition, a lot of good racers, and though he came in 13th place, you can bet he’ll be back again next year.

Announcer #2: That’s it for us.  From Cub Scout Raceway in McKinney, Texas, it’s so long, everybody and happy driving!
