Does anyone do CO2 cars anymore? Is it done at the middle school age? Scouts/leagues/school/etc?

It was never offered when I was in school but saw some at a Texas Tech (woodshop) Fair in Waco, many a moon ago.

Looking to find the next interest level when we age out of PWD.

We did CO2 cars a couple of years ago. It was a lot of fun. The key is to have the car as light and as arodynamic as possible. The only problem we found was there is a lot of down time between races while the cars are being stringed up on the line. One of our leaders homeschool group has done this several times.

The middle school in our area still do these cars as a science experiment..
