It was the day of tryouts.
Eddy saw Zippy.
He saw other cars too.
They all looked pretty fast.
"Welcome to tryouts," said Mr. Grill.
"I need four fast racers."
"How will you pick them?" Zippy asked.
"We'll have a race," said Mr. Grill.
"I'll pick the four winners."
"Me!" said Zippy.
"Maybe," said Mr. Grill.
"Everyone, line up."
Eddy went to the starting line.
He was between two big cars.
Their engines rumbled.
Eddy gulped.
But then he heard his friends.
"You can do it, Eddy!" Poppy shouted.
"Good luck, everyone," said Mr. Grill.
"Ready, set . . . go!"
Eddy took off.
"I can do this," he thought.
"I can make the team!"
