finally came in the mail today.   haven't even taken it out of the envelope.   have no idea what to expect.  i'm a Champion on Road to Knoxville at the Pro level.   i gotta race my ass off to win that. 

alot of you guys have the WoO 2002.   what do you think?  any advice?  how will i do right off the bat?  any predictions?

can't play it right now, cuz i gotta fly,  but can't wait 'til later.

IMO, the physics are more realistic than Road to Knoxville so it might take some getting used to. Ultimatey I think you will enjoy this game much more than RtK, really......RtK kinda sucks after you play WoO 2002.

alright! you guys are right. this is great. cars don't drive that much different than RTK. but everything is better. glad i got it. i started out at Eldora because i figured that would be the easiest. i started out at the medium difficulty and realized that my experience at RTK has put me in the "OUTLAW" level on WoO. it was too easy.

went to race at Vegas at the "outlaw" level. qualified 9th. finished 2nd in my heat and finished 6th in the dash. finished 5th in the A. not great. never raced at Vegas so i was little unsure of myself.

went to Charlotte and got smoked. qualified 9th and proceeded to quit.

went to Husets because it was familiar to me from RTK. did pretty well. qualified 7th i think and finished 2nd in the A.

went to I-55. qualified 5th. finished 2nd in the heat. won the dash. won the A.

just won at Vegas with a 4th corner pass of Steve Kinser.

quit at Bristol cuz i kept getting caught up in wrecks.

this is fun.

Here's what I do for a setup it works for me it might not work for everyone.

Stagger:16.50

Front end Height all the way up, Rearend height all the way down

Torsion bars left sides as low as they can go right side as High as it can go

Wings all the way back and all the angle you can give it,

put all your weight on the left side and about 30 pounds in the rearend

gears I usually run a 30 or a 40 it's goo for all tracks.

Thowell29 I bet I would be more than happy to take that challenge.

Has anyone Won every race they entered during an Outlaws season and show that run when the outlaws don't run?

yes. i have raced every week and won every race in only 2 seasons without cheating (not saving when u wreck). it is a challenge for sure.

I need some coffee this morning because I wake up and read this thread and wonder is its March of 2002? If it is I got some inside info on how the next 6 yrs are gonna go

Spoiler alert: there are no WMD's

More weight, more regulation, more similarity in the 
cars.... that will ensure plenty of thrills for years 
to come.  Only the most average talent behind the 
wheel will be needed with such awesome equipment on 
the track!

i don't remember Johnny "the school bus driver" Hererra being such a force as he is in this game.  in this game he's always harrassing me and near the front. 

The only way this game is still a challenge for me is to get into career mode and upgrade chassis 1 level to the hawk I believe-- and dont get an 800 hp motor Check out saturday night speedway if you want another cheap/fun ps2 game I saw it for 7 bucks at gamestop the speed of the midgets is unrealistic but the game is similar to woo

The best I ever done was starting last in the B Main every night and won twenty something races in a row. I know my brother won every race two or three years in a row one time, but he qualified, and everything.

I've done it Twice and it is alot of work.If I want a real challenge I skip all the races and run the B-main and then start last in the A-main.I win alot but some tracks still kick my butt like Lernerville.

I do the same, and get my butt kicked there too

i think i can win anywhere but Lernerville.  finished 4th for my best showing so far.   3 and 4 i can fly thru but in 1 and 2 i can tell thats where i'm getting beat. 

Post some of your best times at the tracks.... lets see who IS fastest...... I will have to go dig out the ps2 and hook it all back up to write my times down but I will do it if someone thinks their REAL times are that good..

A late Model friend and I once sat in the middle of a big party going on around us playing 2002 Ratbag. We did the whole 24 race championship...no restarts ofcourse in that. He got 1st I got 2nd and it came straight down to the last 2 races on who won the season.

For about he first 18 races which took about 2 or 3 hours, no one payed much attention. but since most at the party liked Sprints at about race 20/24 they started to pay attention. We had about many drunk people around use cheering us on. We were so drunk. After about 4 hours of racing while drinking whatever people handed us. (Mostly Captain) It was hard to stay within your racing ability.

Funny thing. Steve Kinser was like 8th in points the whole 24 races but of the 2 Knoxville races he just couldn't be beat.

I LOVE THAT GAME!!!
