I was a little shaky at first but then something amazing happened to my car…

I was late for the car rally! The starter was about to say Ready Set Go in one minute and I was five minutes away from the race! 5 4 3 2 1 but just before it went to 0 the car went funny and it started bumping fast and it went even faster and faster and faster and faster until ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My car went up to 1000 kph!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I couldn’t see anything and the steering wheel was going crazy and suddenly my foot went on the brake and my car stopped and I was at the car rally. “Zero GO” said the starter so I released the brakes and I went up to 220 kph because I couldn’t go 1000 kph anymore how weird!

I was in the lead but I looked back and I saw Zak’s car going 300 kph he was not far back but then OH NO! Zac overtook me. I tried overtaking but when I turned right or left to overtake him he would turn right or left aswell. So what I did was I saw this weird button so I pressed it and then I started flying then I saw this other weird button so I pressed it WOW! It was a rocket booster so I went fast like a jet. So what I did was I flew up very high so Zac couldn’t see me then I flew past Zac by 50 metres and then I landed at the motel!
