I have heard model cars are toys all my life. I can not understand why model cars get no respect? Like the train or airplane hobby does. Cheating and favoritism is rampant in most everything now days. Some how it has become acceptable to do so. I see this in the local sports all the time. The school system I work for is one of the worst examples of this. You can always tell who is going to make the team, by who their parents are.
