I think the whole thing would be better if there were more cheating. Racing of any sort has a fine tradition of cheating. Sorrowfully, rules in most racing types have been so tightly written and enforced that another fine tradition has been trampled in the dust.
I think with the fine folks of Mudcat, traditions are important! So write in to the governing body of your favorite racing organization and tell them to open things up and bring cheating back to their sport. Its the tradition and it needs to be respected.
