Hey everyone, this is Britrules, finally retiring from the SmartCars Tracks. People just don't want to race on the Gasoline Alley the right way....

LoL, I'm starting to sound dorky. But seriously, the rest of the track is there for a reason!

Tracks that have a start right next to the finish can be pretty disastrous to race on. It's always possible to use the lights in a way that just turns your car around, and that way you don't have to use any of the rest of the track. You just win, right away.

It's hard to do, boring to watch, and annoying when all the races look the same, but you win. You're on top of everyone. You're way above those pathetic people who do it the right way, and you get Whyville fame, right?

Oh, get real! I won't mention any names, but the people who do that are cheating, especially if the challengee goes the long way!

The Round About track was like that, until Whyville made it so that you couldn't race on it anymore. Now Gas Alley has taken its place.

I used to race all the time. I even got onto the Top Ten. During the first few days, I got two or three challenges on Gas Alley. I declined; knowing that if I accepted, the challengers would spin. Well, one tragic day I accepted, and submitted my configuration in a way that I knew would lose. The day after the race, my mailbox was filled with challenges on that same track. I guess they all saw my race, because I've never had so many challenges at once. And I recognized all the challenges to be from people who cheated!

Maybe it's not as bad when both people spin and know it, but most of these people probably believed I'd go the long way. Well, I made a really stupid move and accepted them all.

I don't know what I was thinking. The challenges kept flooding in, and I kept accepting.

That's over now. I'm done having people take advantage of me! I'm retired, and better off. I'll come back when Whyville changes Gasoline Alley. Maybe they could add a wall between start and finish?

Trying to find something else to do,
Britrules

p.s. Don't even try to change my mind in the BBS; I won't buy your excuses.
