A lot of fields would rather have you carry your planes to the flight line 
for saftey.  I've yet to attend a pattern contest where I had seen pilots 
taxi out to the runway.

Sounds like the "taxi" issue is more like an excuse rather than improving 
flying skills....  Kinda like todays schools, "dumb down" the test so 
everyone wins?
