So I rebuilt the carb and fabricated a new case for a standard paper air filter. I put the car back together and then....

I took the car down to Fishers yesterday and displayed it at my granddaughters grade school. they had the Kindy 500 today with racing by kindergarteners riding big wheels. The course was slippery asphalt with the start line going uphill and the final (tight) curve leading to the finish line off camber (I am not making this up).

A lot of the kids had trouble getting started on the uphill and then spun out on the final off camber curve. My granddaughter was undefeated until the final heat (against a girl....the girls smoked all the boys). She was leading into the first curve and the other girl bunted her sideways. She was catching her fast at the finish but for the first time all day, pinched the off camber a bit and slid sideways.

If not for that she probably still would have won it all.....but who's keeping score, right?
