Chute Launch

I shoved that metal washer forward until it clinked against a short piece of curved grey plastic conduit lying along the deck boards! It looked just like a mini halfpipe. No thinking twice—throttle pinned! I nudged the washer into the mouth and roared right in behind it. Whoosh! The smooth curved interior sent us gliding with zero friction, building crazy speed until pop—we shot out the open end, skidded across the composite planks, and bumped to a halt right against the rim of a small zinc watering saucer!
