A Conversation Starter for Stan!

Stan, I'm no physics master like you are! That stuff is way over my head!
But can I pick your brain for a minute Please.
Stan, If I had a Pinewood Derby Car... And let's say it weighed in at
5.1 to 5.2 oz.
And I knew I couldn't race it here in the states.
So let's say I took the car to another country to race!
Because I knew weight depends on mass and gravity.
And that the earth isn't a uniform sphere, and gravity veries slightly over the plant.
And let's say I checked the car in at .. let's say Cape Town & Rome
Would my car weigh less in Cape Town
And be a little heavier in Rome but not by much.
Like i say this is just a Conversation Starter for you! Stan.
And I pray it does't go south!
