Hmmm...if you'd used the pilot truck wheels for running instead of the first driver set, it'd have been faster. As it is, there's too much weight on the front running axle and therefore too much friction.

THAT'S why you didn't win!

And might I add, that is absolutely amazing. I could never get a Pinewood Derby-ish car kit past a basic square shape. Nice!
