When I looked at the screen, the other toon had finished the race while my son was still on the first lap!!!
I asked what had happened and he said that this toon had gone over a speed boost, flew up in the air and went off the track. On the white line thing at the top of the screen (which shows the lap and position you are on), my son said that he skipped to lap 2 then seemed to go back again, then was crossing the finish line!
Unfortunately I was unable to get a screen shot of this toon as my son was so mad and upset at this, he Alt F4'd before I could do anything.
I think this is SUCH A NASTY thing to do!!!! Especially against a 7 yr old!!!
I had to say to my son that this toon couldn't be very good at racing because he has to cheat to win a race (it didn't make him feel any better though )
Sorry for going on, just needed to vent a bit of my anger about this.
Whats your thoughts on cheating to win?

There have been reports before about cheating. The most toons could do to cheat in a race are that they can somehow get off the track, into the gray area (unscripted by Toontown where most toons like to glitch) and then they normally either end the race, or get stuck and Toontown automaticly moves them to the end of the game. It could possibly be a third party software which Toontown is not immune to (meaning, they have not yet gotten ride of users/uses of third party software adaptions to Toontown that many users do tend to use for cheatting on games).
It was unlucky that your son has lost to a cheating toon. Most times (if you got the toon's name), you may report them to Toontown and Toontown would investigate the situation and see if third party software was involved in this (most likely it was).
If you see a toon acting weird or saying rude phrases before a race, I would advice you and/or your son to not race with that(those) toon(s). Just a safety remark because third party softwares could hack into not only the user's computer, but your own and slow it down and disconnect easier (it has happened to toons (including myself) before.).
