Woulden't that be cool that you could race w\ faulty track.txt
files, and then you would be way ahead of vevryone and win, then it
would say "car failed inspection" That might be kinda fun.

Nice thought....but I think that the advantages gained by the cheaters
might affect the real racer's results?

Or even better, you don't make it to the race because the "pre-race"
inspection catches it and you either fix it or pack up and leave, just
like the real guys do.

Eh?   Better think that through first....

It's better the way it is... don't let them race at all.
For some, blowing the doors off the competition would be all that
mattered - and being disqualified at the end would not be a big enough
deterrent.    Why would they care?   The still would get to race.  And
you would be frustrated.

Imagine you are in a race with 15 other cars.  They all leave you in the
dust for 25 laps.  That's no fun - at least for you.   Even if they are
all disqualified, you still don't get to race door to door with other
HUMAN opponents - which is the reason for Hawaii!

If you are happy racing with opponents that are way too slow or way too
fast, just run against the AI and save your money.

I think your on to something. Since most people don't want to race with
these guys have the software make him think he's racing other people, but
in reality have him race with a bunch of super fast/aggressive AI cars and
make sure he doesn't finish. Wait till the last lap to wreck (and wreck him
good) him so he gets maximum phone charges and loses maximum points ;-)
