I was under the impression that the whole idea that Smart Cars was supposed to be a game that allowed you to get better at the different tracks with time and experience. Lately, though, it seems some people think differently.

I find it quite disappointing that some racers feel the need to cheat on the Gasoline Alley track. I race a lot, and I win about half my races -- however, in the last month I have had 3 races where the person I was racing against cheated.

When I say cheated, I mean that instead of racing the whole track -- which is pretty hard, I might add -- these people set their lights so that all their car does is spin on its axis and hit the finish line from the wrong side. The way they do this, it doesn't matter how you set up your car: you lose.

If you are going to take part in the Whyville activities, do it right. In the end, you are only cheating yourselves.
