No we did one this past summer at one of our outdoor camp outs. Probably the Pinewood Derby will be next.

Got a new base gasket put on the carb and loctited the screws connecting the body to the base. Seems to be running much better. Flushed the radiator, and am not happy with what came out, but the good news is that it is out, and fresh clean stuff is in

andy, i need to return the incorrect one and trade for the correct one. tomorrow is another day, and only and extra 50 miles on the oil. as for the oring its a special square one, i was tempted to use a generic one because i have a collection as well but he didnt need it so we left it for tomorrow as well.

what is a regatta?

It is the rain gutter regatta kinda like the pine wood derby but with sail boats in a rain gutter that they have to blow them down the gutter.
