Their reward isn't the game or the racing, it is the hack; that they can show that they beat a system. This is so true, I remember many years ago, back in my C64 days, a friend gave me a new game on tape (yes, that old!) and said it had a new unbreakable loading routine written using undocumented machine code operations, challenge accepted, I rewrote the loading routine so that as each section of the game loaded into separate sections of memory it jumped to my subroutine which saved it to disk, I then combined all the saved sections into a single working file and gave it back to my friend the next day, we never played the game, got more enjoyment from the hack! So, frustrating as it is to see these silly times, I kinda understand. I had a C64 with a tape drive too... I obviously was not as talented a... ahem... programmer as you were.
